Method:

1. Place the flour in a mixing bowl. Add the boiling water slowly, and mix into a dough with a wooden spoon. Knead for 5-6 minutes and let the dough stand for 15 minutes. Turn the dough on to a floured board and knead again for 5-6 minutes. Let it stand for another 15 minutes.

2. Form the dough into a sausage-shaped roll, about 3.75 cm (11 in) in diameter. Divide the dough into 18-20 equal sized pieces, either by cutting off discs with a knife, or breaking pieces off with the fingers.

3. Pat and flatten the discs into round ‘biscuits’. Brush the top of the biscuits with sesame oil. Stick the biscuits together in pairs, oiled sides inward, and roll out into a double pancake about 11.25-12.5 cm (4 1/2-5 in) in diameter.

4. Put a dry frying pan over a low heat. When the pan is quite hot. place one or two pancakes in it to dry-cook for 1-1 1/2 minutes. Shake the pan slightly so that the heating is even. Turn the pancakes over and dry-cook the other side for the same length of time.

5. Remove from the pan, and pull the double pancakes apart into single layers (because the sides which were pressed together were greased, they should come apart fairly readily).

6. Pile the pancakes up one on top of the other (greased sides uppermost). When required, they should be placed in a steamer to heat through for 15-20 minutes. If not required they can be wrapped in tinfoil and stored in a refrigerator for a few days.
