步骤

Place 10 oz of the all-purpose flour and the salt into a mixing bowl and combine. Make a well in the center and pour in the boiling water. Mix using a knife until the dough comes together and leave to cool. minimal_rich_text

Once cool to the touch use your hands to shape the dough. You can add cold water as needed to prevent any dry patches forming. Knead on a floured work surface for a few minutes until the dough feels firm. Return to the bowl cover and leave to rest for 30 minutes in a cool dark place. minimal_rich_text

While the dough is resting make the filling for the pancake. Transfer the rest of the all-purpose flour to a small bowl and add the vegetable oil and sesame oil until you reach a paste-like consistency. Add the Chinese five-spice powder and a pinch of salt. minimal_rich_text

Remove the dough from the bowl and divide into six pieces. Roll the dough out on a dusted surface into a rectangle. Spread 2 tsp of the filling mixture over the rectangle leaving a small border then sprinkle the scallions over the top. Roll the dough up into a long sausage from the long side and flatten using your hands. Then roll from one of the shorter sides into a spiral and flatten again. Repeat the process with the rest of the dough. Roll the spirals of dough out into 6 inch discs. minimal_rich_text

Heat a dash of oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Cook the pancakes for around 2 minutes on each side until golden brown. Transfer to a plate lined with parchment paper to absorb excess oil. minimal_rich_text
