Preparation Time: 1 hr 10 mins
Cook Time: 18 mins
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 3/4 cups cake flour
- 1 1/2 cups boiling water
- 1 teaspoon coarse salt
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 cup sliced scallion
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
Recipe
- 1 sift flours into work bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade; add salt and oil. add water in a thin stream while blade is running; stop after adding 1 c of boiling water and check consistency. dough should be firm and pliable, barely sticky, and forming a ball. if necessary, add more water a little bit at a time. remove dough from machine, place in a bowl, cover with a damp towel, and refrigerate 30-60 minutes to allow the gluten to relax.
- 2 divide dough into six pieces. roll each piece into a rough rectangle 1/8" thick. brush lightly with toasted sesame oil (the dough should barely glisten) and sprinkle with scallions. roll tightly like a jelly roll. twist the resulting "cigar" into a spiral with the seam on the inside.
- 3 using a rolling pin, roll each spiral out into a thin pancake, 5-6" in diameter. fry each spiral in very hot oil, 2-3 minutes on each side, until edges are crispy and pancakes are golden brown. cut into wedges and serve with light soy sauce or ponzu sauce.
