Mongolian Pancakes: Gambir

Mongolian pancakes (Gambir) are simple and very tasty. They are made from a very basic dough that consists of flour and water which is very easy to make. However, I usually do not have time even for that simple recipe so I found a shortcut.

Ingredients:

  • 1 pack of Dumpling Wrapper dough (can be found in any Chinese store)
  • 4 tblsp of sugar
  • 1/4 cup of melted unsalted butter
  • Oil for frying

Brush top and bottom of each sheet of dough with butter. Sprinkle a little sugar on the surface of pancakes. With a knife make two small cuts at the center of each pancake (this needs to be done in order to avoid blisters). Add a little oil to the frying pan and cook pancake (both sides) on moderate heat until they become a little brown and crispy.
