hi everyone
this is Haijuan
we often wait in long queues to buy silk pancakes
today, I'll be sharing with you
a simple and easy recipe
it's almost effortless
check this out, isn't it appetizing?
we can definitely make this at home
let's get right into it!
put in 500 grams of regular flour
add 5 grams of salt
this is to improve the texture
mix the flour using 340 ml of warm water
stir as you add in water
keep mixing it until the flour turn into flakes, then make it into a dough with your hands
aim for a soft dough as shown here
transfer it to a piece of cutting board
work the dough for a few minutes, make it nice and smooth
then work the dough into a long piece
make it into 4 equal-sized chunks
work the chunks until they become nice and smooth
add some oil to a big bowl
rub it across evenly
put in the chunks
apply some oil to the surface of the chunks as well
this way every chunk is coated in oil
put on a lid, have the chunks chill for 2 hours
if you don't have enough time
put the chunks in zip-loc bags
this can reduce the amount of time needed for the chunks to chill. apply some oil to the cutting board
take out a chunk
flatten it with your hand, press it for a bit longer
the dough is really soft and easy to work with after it's been chilled
stretch the thin piece longer using a rolling pin
then stretch the thin piece wider
the trick is to push from the top while pulling from the bottom
make it as long and wide as you possibly can
then roll it up using the rolling pin
give it a gentle stretching during this process
this is to make the finished product even thinner
keep stretching and rolling
preheat the pancake maker, brush some oil on it
make sure to pre-heat it, it has to be hot when you put the thin piece on it
now put in the thin piece
rotate the rolling pin as you put in the thin piece. if you see it's shape getting firm
push it aside to allow raw portions to come in
put new portions in as you push the firmed portions aside
keep pushing it aside
rotate the rolling pin as you do
flip around the thin piece when its bottom browns
bake it for longer if you like the more crispy texture
the silk pancakes is ready after both sides gets a nice brown
