Hand-grilled cake embryo
Ingredients:
500 grams of ordinary flour; 150 grams of boiling water; 160 grams of cold water; 50 grams of corn oil; 20 grams of lard grams; 3 grams of salt.
Method:
1 Mix the flour and salt first, slowly pour in the boiling water, and use chopsticks to stir clockwise into a dough while pouring. Continue to slowly pour in the cold water. Mix well with chopsticks, then add lard and knead with your hands to form a smooth dough.
2 Cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 30 minutes.
3 Place the dough on the chopping board and roll it into a round shape, divide it into 8 equal parts, and evenly apply a layer of corn oil on each piece of dough to prevent sticking.
4 Apply corn oil on your hands, gently press the dough into a cake shape, and use a rolling pin to roll it into a rectangular transparent dough.
5 Using a dough cutter, slowly fold the long side of the dough to the other side like folding fans. Gently pull both ends of the folded noodles with your hands. Use both hands to slowly circle one end of the noodles until it is rolled into a round cake. Press the closed end under the dough.
6 After rolling, apply a layer of corn oil on both sides of the dough and let it rest for 15 minutes.
7 Use a rolling pin to gently roll the rolled dough into a 0.5 cm thick round cake. Separate each one with baking paper, and stack one layer of cake and one layer of baking paper one after another. Put it in a crisper and freeze it in the refrigerator. When you want to eat it, take it out without defrosting and fry it on both sides in a pan.

11 | Fry for a while and then it’s ready.
Tips:
1 | Knead the noodles with cold water and make the noodles soft. Use more hand powder when rolling out the dough. Roll it out a little thinner for the first time and stretch it out when rolling it up to increase the layers.
2 | If you want to eat more chewy dough, you can let the dough rise for 15 to 20 minutes - it takes time, but you can rest while the dough rises, or prepare some porridge and side dishes.
3 | The pan for pancakes should be heated over high heat first, and the heat should be kept at medium-low while pancakes are being pancaked. Turn the cake frequently when baking to ensure even heating. A thick-bottomed pan is best, but a regular wok will also work, but you’ll need more oil.
