MOO SHU PANCAKES AMAZON RECIPES

Steps:

• Place the flour in a large bowl and stir in the salt, if using. Pour in the boiling water and stir together with a fork. (If the dough seems too dry or crumbly, stir in a little more water, up to 1/4 cup or so.) Once the dough comes roughly together, check to see if it's cool enough to handle. If it's not, wait a few seconds. When it's cool enough to not burn you, knead in the bowl until all the flour is incorporated. Move onto a large cutting board and knead another minute or two, until the dough is tender, smooth, and elastic.
• Roll dough into a foot-long rope and cut into 12 equal pieces. You want the pieces to be very similar in size so they'll roll out well in pairs. Roll each piece into a ball and flatten slightly.
• Take two dough balls and brush one flattened side of each with sesame oil. Press them together with oiled sides touching, patting them out until they're about 3 inches across. Use a rolling pin, wine bottle, or whatever you use to roll things to roll out very thinly, aiming for an even 7-inch circle (But don't worry about the shape too much; as long as they fit on your griddle or skillet they will be fine.) Repeat until you have 6 little pancakes.
• Heat a nonstick (or seasoned cast iron) skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. (We used a nonstick crepe pan.) Lay on one pancake and cook for a minute or so, until the bottom is browned in places and the top is showing bubbles. Flip and cook the second side for a minute, until browned in spots. Remove to a plate and pull apart like magic to reveal two super-thin pancakes! (Be careful of the steam.) Repeat with remaining pancakes until all are cooked. Serve with a simple, cabbage-and-ginger-heavy stir-fry and hoisin sauce. Assemble at the table and enjoy!

Steps:

• Mix the salt into the flour with a fork. Pile the flour onto a clean counter and make a well in it with your fingers. Pour the oil into the well, followed by about half of the hot water. Mix the flour into the water and make into a dough, adding a little water at a time until you have a damp dough. Knead the dough for a bout 10 minutes or until smooth.
• Divide the dough into 18- 20 balls of about equal size. Flatten and roll them out into discs about 2-3 inches in diameter. Brush the tops of half of these with a little oil and place the other half of these on top. Dust with a little flour and roll out into thin pizza like circles about 6-8 inches across. Stack with waxed paper in between the pancakes.
• Heat a griddle or large ungreased skillet over medium-low heat. cook one at a time turning often until bubbles begin to form in the dough. Do not brown! With the tip of a knife seperate the pancake into two and place on a warm plate covered with a clean dampened towel mositened with hot water. Continue doing this until all the pancakes are done.
