Recipe for Shallot Pancakes

As I promised, here is the recipe that i've used for making shallot pancakes in my previous post. It's not hard and i hope you will enjoy making it as well as devouring it.

Shallot Pancakes (makes about 4)

Ingredients

- 1 1/2 cup of self-rising flour

- 1 tsp of salt

- 1/4 cup of hot water

- 1/2 cup of cold water

- 1 cup of chopped shallot (trim the ends)

- vegetable oil

Method

1) Put the self-rising flour and salt in a large bowl and add hot water. Stir with chopsticks until well combined

2) Add cold water into the mixture and mix it until well combined, it should start forming some sort of dough

3) Knead the dough until smooth and elastic and occasionally, you might need to add extra flour and/or cold water. Leave the dough to rest for around 30 minutes.

4) Divide the dough into four portions. Using a rolling pin, roll out into a 15cm diameter disc (roughly). Do the same with the remaining portions

5) Spread about 1 tsp of vegetable oil on the surface of the disc and sprinkle with the chopped shallots. (as pictured above)

6) Roll up tightly to enclose the shallots and make it into a cinnamon roll shape. (as pictured below)

7) Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and lightly grease the pan with extra vegetable oil. Cook each side of the pancake until golden brown (cook one pancake at a time). Press the pancake while cooking to expand it and also to make it thinner.

The result!

Enjoy!
