Instructions

1. 1 Place flour in a large bowl and gradually mix in water. Mix until dough comes together; knead until smooth, 15 to 20 minutes. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 15 minutes.
2. 2 Knead dough again for 2 minutes; cover and let rest for 15 minutes.
3. 3 Knead dough one more time for 2 minutes. Divide into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a 3/8-inch-thick sheet. Brush both sides of each sheet with oil. Stack sheet together; cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
4. 4 Fill a large saucepan with water and bring to boil.
5. 5 Place one sheet of dough on a cutting board and slice into 1/8-inch-wide strips. Take one end of a strip in each hand and stretch it until it is 30 to 35-inches long. Fold it in thirds and stretch again to the same length; shake and slap against the counter several times to lengthen it to 2 to 3 yards. Drop it into boiling water. Add 2 to 3 more strips of noodles to boiling water; cook until tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer drained noodles to a serving bowl.

Instructions

1. 1 Mix flour and 1 teaspoon salt together in a large bowl; pour in boiling water and quickly mix together until water is absorbed. Work cold water, about 1 tablespoon at a time, into flour mixture just until dough forms. Knead dough for 10 minutes. Cover bowl with a damp cloth and let dough rest for 40 minutes.

• ✓ water
• all-purpose flour
• salt
• chicken fat
• scallion
• vegetable oil

Instructions

1. 1 Mix flour and salt in a bowl. Pour in boiling water slowly, while mixing with a fork, until all the water is absorbed. Pour in cold water and mix with your hands until the flour has been incorporated. Turn out mixture onto a clean surface and knead until smooth, about 5 minutes. Cover dough with a piece of plastic wrap and let it rest for 20 minutes.
2. 2 Divide dough into 4 equal pieces. Lightly grease your work surface. Working with 1 piece at a time, roll out dough into a thin rectangle. Brush with melted chicken fat and sprinkle with 1/4 cup scallions. Starting on the long edge, roll dough into a rope. Roll the rope into a coil and tuck the end underneath. Press down with your hand to flatten slightly, and set aside. Repeat with the remaining dough and scallions.
3. 3 Lightly grease your work surface to prevent sticking. Roll each dough coil into a circle, about 7 inches in diameter.
4. 4 Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and add enough vegetable oil to cover the surface of the pan. Add 1 pancake to the hot oil and fry for 1 minute. Flip and fry for 1 more minute on the other side. Continue to cook, flipping regularly, until each side is evenly browned, pressing down with a spatula if necessary to ensure even browning. Remove to a cutting board to cool. Repeat with the remaining pancakes. Serve warm.

Instructions

1. 1 Sprinkle the yeast over 1 cup of warm water in a large bowl. The water should be no more than 100 degrees F (40 degrees C). Let stand for 5 minutes until the yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam. Combine the flour, sugar, and baking soda in a small bowl.

By Angela

Ingredients

• ✓ water
• egg
• sugar
• cake flour
• baking powder
• almond extract
• confectioners sugar

Instructions

1. 1 Arrange a large bamboo steamer or a large vegetable steamer over simmering water. Make sure it is large enough to hold the baking pan. Line a 9 inch square pan with waxed paper.
2. 2 Separate the eggs. Place the yolks in a large bowl along with the sugar and water. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture has increased about three times in volume. Whisk together the flour and the baking powder; sift this over the egg mixture, and fold in gently. Blend in the extract.
3. 3 Whip the egg whites in a clean bowl to stiff, not dry, peaks. Fold into yolk base. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, and smooth out to edges. Rap the pan on the counter to get rid of large air bubbles.
4. 4 Place the pan into the steamer. Cover the top of the steamer with a kitchen towel, and place the lid on top; the towel will absorb any steam that collects on top from dripping onto the cake. Steam for about 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. Dust with confectioner's sugar.
