I love this recipe. First start with the Mandarin pancakes.
Mandarin Pancakes (for 16 pancakes)
• 160 gr. flour flour
• 90 gr. cup boiling water
• dash salt
• 2 TBSP veg 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 30 minutes. Place your finger in the center and create a donut. Roll out to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut into 1/2 inch rounds. Brush a small amount of oil on top of 1 round. Place another round on top and press together. Continue this process and stack 8 rounds. Roll the rounds together to form a circle about 6 or 7 inches in diameter. Heat a large pan with water and place a bamboo steamer in it and steam the pancakes 15 minutes over medium heat. Pull pancakes apart and again stack. Place a 6″ bowl over the center of the stack and with a knife cut perfectly round pancakes. Store pancakes in a zip lock bag until ready for use. Here is a video on how to make pancakes:
