Red Bean Paste Pancakes Recipe

Ingredients :

225 g

1/2 cup

1

3 tablespoons

4-5 tablespoons

Plain (all-purpose) flour

Boiling water

Egg (well beaten)

Oil

Sweetened red bean paste or chestnut paste

1. Sift the flour into a mixing bowl and very gently pour in the boiling water.
2. Add about 1 teaspoon oil and the beaten egg.
3. Knead the mixture into a firm dough and then divide it into 2 equal portions.
4. Roll out each portion into a long 'sausage' on a lightly floured surface and cut it into 4-6 pieces.
5. Using the palm of your hand, press each piece into a flat pancake.
6. On a lightly floured surface, flatten each pancake into a 15cm circle with a rolling pin and roll gently.
7. Place an un-greased frying pan on a high heat.
8. When hot, reduce the heat to low and place one pancake at a time in the pan.
9. Turn it over when little brown spots appear on the underside.
10. Remove and keep under a damp cloth until you have finished making all the pancakes.
11. Spread about 2 tablespoons red bean paste or chestnut paste over about 80% of the pancake surface and roll it over 3 or 4 times to form a flattened roll.
12. Heat the oil in a frying pan and shallow-fry the pancakes until golden brown, turning over once.
13. Cut each pancake into 3-4 pieces and serve hot or cold.
