Five-Spice Chinese Pancakes image

The addition of five spice powder to the batter is what makes these Chinese pancakes special. I use these with my recipe #399013 *Note: The dough needs to chill for an hour prior to making the pancakes. The pancakes do not keep well left-over, but are delicious freshly made!

Time 1h20m

Yield 12 pancakes, approx.

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon margarine or 1 tablespoon butter, melted
1 tablespoon minced fresh chives (optional)
1 1/2 cups nonfat milk
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon five-spice powder
cooking spray

Steps:

  • Place flour, five spice powder, and chives (optional) in a medium bowl.
  • Combine milk, margarine, and egg in a separate bowl.
  • Add milk mixture to the flour mixture, stirring with a whisk until blended.
  • Cover and chill for an hour.
  • Place an 8-inch crepe pan or nonstick skillet pan coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat until hot.
  • Remove pan from heat and pour scant 1/4 cup of batter into pan; quickly tilt pan in all directions so batter covers the bottom of pan.
  • Place pan back on burner and cook about 1 minute.
  • Carefully lift edge of pancake with a spatula to test for doneness. The pancake will be ready to turn when it can be shaken loose from the pan and the underside is lightly browned.
  • Turn pancake over, cook other side for about 30 seconds.
  • Place the pancake on a plate and cool. Repeat until all of the batter is used. Stack pancakes between single layers of wax paper to prevent pancakes from sticking.
