Thousand Layer Fried Pancake

Thousand Layer Fried Pancake

This fragrant, flaky layered pancake is a deliciously simple yet impressive treat, perfect for breakfast or a snack. Made with just flour, water, fragrant oil, and a sprinkle of pepper salt, this recipe transforms basic ingredients into a crispy, multi-layered delight. The secret lies in the meticulous folding and rolling technique—each layer is brushed with fragrant oil, creating a rich, savory depth with every bite. The dough is kneaded until smooth, rested, then rolled, folded, and oiled repeatedly to build irresistible flaky textures. Cooked slowly on low heat with a covered lid, the pancake turns golden and crisp outside while staying tender inside. The aromatic blend of fragrant oil and pepper salt elevates this humble dish into something extraordinary. Easy to make yet full of flavor, this layered pancake is a must-try for anyone who loves crispy, savory bites with a satisfying crunch. Perfect with a cup of tea or as a side to any meal!
