Korean Pancakes
- 1 cup flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt, optional
- 1/4 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon peanut, vegetable or corn oil, plus oil for brushing the skillet
- 1 1/4 cups cold water
- 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.
- Line another mixing bowl with a sieve and pour the batter into the sieve, pushing any solids through with a rubber or plastic spatula.
- Rub a Teflon skillet with oil, and heat.
- 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.
