As one of the traditional Chinese delicacies, pancakes are not only an excellent choice for breakfast, but also an important part of the local food culture. The pancake has a crispy crust and a rich and varied filling, giving it a unique texture. It is not only a delicious dish, but also the inheritance and memory of Chinese food culture. Let's take a look at the process of making pancakes.
The production process. The key to pancakes is the batter, which is the basis for making delicious pancakes. Let's take a closer look at how to make batter for pancakes.
First of all, we prepare the necessary ingredients flour, water, mung bean flour or soybean flour, salt, five-spice powder, etc. Mix the flour and mung bean flour or soybean flour in a ratio of 41, then add the appropriate amount of salt and allspice. This makes the batter more fragrant and richer.
Next, add an appropriate amount of water to the mixture. In general, the ratio of water to noodles is about 11:6, but it can be adjusted appropriately according to personal taste and preference. While adding water, stir in one direction while adding water until it becomes a thin batter.
If you want the pancakes to be fluffy, you can mix a portion of the flour and water to form a white batter before making the batter, and leave it in a warm place to ferment to make the dough. Then pour the leavened dough into the batter and add some baking soda. Baking soda has a leavening effect that can make pancakes more fluffy.
To make the pancakes more crispy and tasty, we can also add some chopped green onions or other ingredients to the batter. This adds to the flavor of the pancakes and gives them a richer texture. In addition, we can also spread some sauces such as soybean sauce or sweet noodle sauce on the pancakes to add layers to the texture.
If you want your pancakes to be tougher and more elastic, you can add some eggs and sweet potato starch to the batter. The addition of eggs and sweet potato starch can increase the toughness of the pancakes, making them easier to spread and fry. Finally, let the prepared batter sit for 20 minutes to allow the flour and water to fully blend, and the fried cake will have a more delicate texture.
Next, we pour the batter into a preheated pan, brush the base with vegetable oil, pour in an appropriate amount of batter, flatten and fry over low heat until lightly browned. Then turn over and continue to fry until lightly browned.
