about 24 pancakes

Preparation

  1. Put the flour in a mixing bowl, and add the salt, sesame oil and 1/2 teaspoon peanut oil. Blend with a wire whisk while adding the water.
  2. Line another mixing bowl with a sieve and pour the batter into the sieve, pushing any solids through with a rubber or plastic spatula.
  3. Rub a Teflon skillet with oil, and heat.
  4. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the batter into the hot skillet, and spread it out quickly and gently with the back of a spoon to make a round, thin, almost transparent pancake. Add a second and third batch, rounding out each. Let each pancake cook about 20 seconds on one side without browning, turn, and cook the second side about 1 minute without browning. As the pancakes are cooked, transfer them to a plate. Rub the skillet between batches with a small amount of oil. Continue until all the batter is used.
