Ingredients:

Yield: 20 pancakes

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup boiling water
• 3 tablespoons sesame oil, about

Directions:

1. In a mixing bowl put the flour, and gradually stir in the water, mixing to make a thin batter.

6. Cut into rounds with a 3-inch cutter.
7. With your fingers, daub a small amount of oil on top of 1 round.
8. Place another round on top and press together.
9. Roll the 2 rounds together to form a circle about 6 or 7-inches in diameter.
10. Cover with a damp kitchen cloth until ready to cook, and repeat with the remaining dough.
11. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
12. Cook 1 pancake at a time until barely golden and dry on both sides, turning once, about 1 minute.
13. Remove from the pan, and when cool enough to handle, carefully separate the 2 pancakes.
14. Wrap in foil until ready to use, or refrigerate.
15. (To reheat, place in a steamer insert and steam, covered, for 5 minutes.).
