Quantities
Determine how many servings you plan to make before each preparation. One serving is sufficient for 1–2 people.
Total quantities (per serving):
- Flour: 200 g
- Boiling water: 100 ml
- Cold water: 50 ml
- Cooking oil: 15 ml
- Salt: 3 g
- Egg: 1
- Lettuce: 30 g
- Ham: 30 g
- Cheese slice: 1
Instructions
- Place the flour in a bowl, add boiling water and stir until it forms shaggy clumps. Then add cold water and knead into a smooth dough. Cover with a damp cloth and let rest for 20 minutes.
- Divide the dough into portions of approximately 100 g each. Roll each into a ball and flatten into a thin sheet.
- Spread cooking oil evenly over the surface, sprinkle with salt, and roll up into a spiral (snail shape). Let rest for 10 minutes.
- Roll the dough out again into a thin pancake with uniform thickness.
- Heat oil in a pan over low heat. Cook until both sides are golden brown and bubbly.
- Layer the cooked pancake with fried egg, lettuce, ham, cheese slices, and other toppings as desired. Roll up and serve.
Additional Tips
- Using a mixture of boiling and cold water helps improve the dough's flexibility.
- The dough should rest for at least 20 minutes; otherwise, it may be difficult to roll thin.
- Adjust toppings according to personal preference. It is recommended to keep the total weight of toppings under 100 g.
- Uncooked pancakes can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours. Bring them to room temperature and roll flat before use.
