I made this on my birthday this year. I love this recipe. First start with the Mandarin pancakes.
Mandarin Pancakes (for 10 pancakes)
• 1 cup all-purpose flour (unbleached)
• 1/2 cup boiling water
• 1 tablespoons sesame oil
In a mixing bowl put the flour, and gradually stir in the water, mixing to make a thin batter. Work the dough until smooth. Place the dough in a bowl, cover with a dish towel and let rest for 45 minutes. Roll out to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut into rounds with a 3-inch cutter. Brush a small amount of sesame oil on top of 1 round. Place another round on top and press together. Roll the 2 rounds together to form a circle about 6 or 7-inches in diameter. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook 1 pancake at a time until barely golden and dry on both sides, turning once, about 1 minute.
