Authentic Peking Duck Pancakes

In a large mixing bowl, combine the plain flour with boiling water. Stir with chopsticks or a fork until a dough begins to form.

Once the dough is cool enough to handle, knead it on a lightly floured surface for about 5-10 minutes until smooth. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Divide the rested dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and then flatten each ball into a round pancake shape about 5 inches in diameter.

Brush one side of each pancake with sesame oil and place the pancakes oiled side facing each other to prevent sticking. Allow to rest for another 15 minutes.

In a steamer, place the pancakes in a single layer and steam for 8-10 minutes until they are soft and cooked through.

Remove the pancakes from the steamer and gently separate them. Keep them warm in a clean kitchen towel while the rest are steamed.

To serve, slice the Peking duck into thin strips. Lay the duck, sliced spring onions, and cucumber on a pancake, drizzle with hoisin sauce, and roll it up like a wrap.
