Introduction
Wenxi pancake, also known as Wenxi fried cake, is a traditional snack in Shanxi Province, China. It is made of high-gluten flour, vegetable oil, and various fillings like scallions, eggs, and meat. With its crispy texture and delicious taste, Wenxi pancake has become popular all over the world. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to make Wenxi pancakes at home.
Ingredients
- 2 cups of high-gluten flour
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 cup of boiling water
- 1/4 cup of cold water
- 1/4 cup of vegetable oil
- 1 cup of chopped scallions
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1/2 cup of cooked minced meat (optional)
Directions
Step 1: Mix the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and boiling water. Stir with a wooden spoon until the mixture forms a crumbly dough. Add the cold water gradually and continue stirring until the dough becomes smooth and elastic. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Step 2: Roll and Wrap the Fillings
Dust a flat working surface with some flour. Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a thin, large circle. Brush the surface of each circle with some vegetable oil. Sprinkle scallions, eggs, and minced meat over the circles. Gently lift up the edges of the circles and wrap the fillings into a square-shaped pouch.
Step 3: Fry the Pancakes
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add some vegetable oil and swirl to coat the surface. Gently place the pouches onto the pan. Fry until the bottom is golden brown. Flip over and fry the other side until it is crispy too. Repeat the process for the rest of the pouches.
