Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups King Arthur All-Purpose Flour
  • ½ tsp Sea salt
  • cups boiling water
  • 1 tsp vegetable or peanut oil
  • 2+ tbsp vegetable or peanut oil for frying
  • Powdered sugar

Instructions
 

  • Place the flour and salt in a large mixing bowl and whisk well.
  • Pour in the boiling water and begin mixing. Then add the oil. You can use a Danish Dough Whisk, which works well in my opinion.
  • Once you have a firm and well mixed dough, cover and let this stand for a good 30 minutes. Don't refrigerate, just let it stand covered on the counter.
  • Pour out the dough on a clean, flat floured surface and knead. You want a smooth dough ball.
  • Using a pasta maker roll out the dough to about ⅛ in thickness. This is a setting of 4 on my pasta maker. Additionally, the rollers are just under 6 inches, so you can easily use the pasta maker for these pancakes.
  • Using a 6 inch cookie cutter, plate, or something with this dimension, cut 6 inch round circles of dough.
  • Using a crepe pan fry the pancakes to just before they deeply brown. You want a little browning, but you will be frying these again and don't want to burn the pancake. Set aside.
  • Using an offset spatula spread the red bean paste over the circle.
  • Fold the pancake by thirds. The first third on top of the red bean paste, the second third on top of the first. It will be shapped like a tortilla.
  • Using a fry pan, add the frying oil and heat over medium low until simmering.
  • Fry the pancake until golden brown on both sides.
  • Remove and cut the "tortilla" into smaller pieces, square shapes (see picture).
  • Place ona serving plate and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve.
