Method

  1. 1 Knead the flour with 70-degree hot water for 10 minutes, then let it rest for 1 hour; the hot water makes the crust soft, not tough like cold water dough.
  2. 2 Mixing lard with tapioca starch makes a paste; this paste separates better than liquid oil.
  3. 3 Roll the dough very thinly, spread with oil, sprinkle with chopped scallions and pepper, then roll it into a long tube.
  4. 4 Twist the tube into a spiral shape, then flatten and gently roll it out so that the layers don't rub against each other.
  5. 5 Pan-fry for 4 minutes on each side over medium heat, then gently tap the sides of the pancake to release the layers.
