Thai Pancake Thai Roti Recipes

THAI PANCAKE - THAI ROTI

Steps:

• Watch the videos metioned in the recipe description.
• In a bowl, combine water, egg, condensed milk, sugar, and salt. Mix well. Set aside.
• Sift the flour into a large bowl, and form a crater in the sifted flour. Pour the water/egg mixture into the flour, and mix well. Add melted butter.
• Knead this until the bowl is clean and you have a nice ball of dough. Lightly coat the dough ball with vegetable oil (we like canola oil). Let it sit for 30 minutes.
• Next, knead your dough a bit more, and form it into several balls (dough for 8 small pancakes of 3 to 3 inches). Coat them with vegetable oil.
• Roll a ball of dough flat with a rolling pin, then cut from center out to edge. Roll it up. Push it in with your finger. Repeat this a few times.
• Now roll and stretch the dough ball into a very flat square sheet (8 to 8 inches), for this step coat it with a bit more oil, pick it up and place it on a hot (highest setting) pancake griddle that has melted margarine on it. You can use a skillet also, but we found that our electric pancake griddle works great. Note. this step is not easy, you will need some exercice to perform this step perfectly.
• Add chopped banana or your favorite filling in the middle. Wrap horizontally one side first, then opposite side. Then vertically one end, then opposite to that end and make a purse covering the filling. Flip and fry for another 30 seconds. It took about 1 minute to finish cooking.
• Cut into 9 pieces and if you like top with sugar or with sweetened condensed milk.
• Enjoy this recipe! It's a lot of fun, and very tasty.
• Note: I had cherries at home. I used them for filling using some cornstarch to make the juice thicker.

SWEET THAI ROTI

Steps:

• Sift the flour into a hill on a clean surface.
• Make a well in the middle and add in egg, melted butter, ice water and salt.
• Use your hand to incorporate the mixture into a dough. Knead until the dough is soft and form into balls about the size of a duck's egg.
• Roll lightly in oil and let rest for three hours.
• When you are ready to make the roti, roll each ball of dough as thin as it will go, forming a flat disk. Make a pile as you go.
• Warm frying pan at high heat. Add in oil. Place in the roti, flatten with heavy plate if it puffs up.
• Fry until light golden brown on both sides. Remove the roti from the pan, sprinkle with a little sugar and drizzle with the sweetened condensed milk.
