My Father's Pancake
Every time when I miss my father, one kind of pancake my father was really skillful comes into my mind. My father can not make his pancake anymore for us for he has been sick for nearly eight years and almost lose his ability to move and think. So when I go to visit him every year, I make pancake for him even he can not eat no more. That is my way to recall all sweet old days my father cooked good food and played with us.
Pancake Recipe:
You will need:
10 oz flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 egg
1 cup boiling water
6 tsp sesame oil
2 green onions
1 wooden spoon
1 rolling pin
1 tea towel
1 frying pan
1 brush
1 knife
1 rolling pin
1 tea towel
1 frying pan
1 brush
1 knife
Directions:
1. Make the dough 
Put the flour, egg and the salt into a bowl. Combine them together with your wooden spoon. Then make a well in the center and add the boiling water, stirring rapidly with spoon.
add the boiling water. Mix together, until it forms a dough. Next, knead the dough well on a lightly floured surface for a few minutes until the dough takes on a smooth, non sticky, elastic consistency. Finally, cover it with a clean tea towel and set it aside for 30 minutes, to rest.
2. Roll the dough
Uncover the dough, rub the rolling pin with flour and roll it into a thin sheet of about 1/2 cm in thickness. Now brush the sheet with a little bit of oil and cast smashed green onion. Then roll it up with your hands like a sausage 4 cm in diameter. Cut it into several 4 same sized pieces. Lightly oil the fingers and palms of your hands and twist the piece in to a round ball and flatten each ball until it is 5 mm thick with your rolling pin.

Heat the frying pan on a medium-high heat and brush the bottom with sesame oil. When the pan is hot enough, add a pancake. Let it cook for about 1.5 minutes, until it begins to look char-grilled and slightly inflated. Then turn it over and cook other side the same way. Remove it from the pan and can be eaten immediately.

Usually we have it as a light supper with rice porridge, and spicy salty cabbage.
I love it, tasty but light.
