Peking Duck Wrappers = Mandarin Pancakes ~ 北京填鴨麵粉皮做法

priss | October 15, 2010

I’ve always wondered how to make thin, chewy, delicious peking duck wrappers, aka Mandarin pancakes.  Ah ha!  Turns out that it’s way too easy to be true!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Peking Duck Wrappers recipe

Ingredients:

All-purpose flour ~ 2 cup
Boiling HOT water ~ 3/4 cup
Sesame oil or olive oil

Instructions:

1. Fit the dough hook to your electric mixer.  Mix the flour and hot water in the bowl until smooth.  Alternatively you can knead by hand for approximately 5 minutes.  Let the dough sit for 5-10 minutes.
2. Spread some flour on a board and roll dough into a cylinder and cut into 25 pieces.
3. Shape each piece into a ball, then flatten slightly into a pancake.
4. Now here’s the trick to make really THIN wrappers: Put a pancake on the board, brush the top thoroughly with sesame oil.  That’d allow the wrappers to be easily separate-able after you cook them.
5. Stack another piece of pancake on and repeat step 4 until you get a stack of 25 pancakes.
6. Now roll them all together till they reach the thickness and size to your liking – FUN!
7. You can then either steam them all together for 4-6 minutes, or cook them individually for 1-2 minutes each on a hot skillet without oil until they puff up.

You’ll find that it’s extremely easy to separate each wrapper afterwards.

& they are REALLY THIN!!!

I steamed them.
Adding hot water to flour helps the gluten to develop more rapidly and the end result is some silky, smooth, chewy wrappers!

The sesame oil gave them a really nice aroma complementing the meat inside.  MmmMmMmmm~

Beau loves them!
ahh~  life’s good! ♥♥

    Hello Lili, a minute or 2 would do it… just until it puffs up. You are cooking them individually so it’s really quick. Thanks for visiting! =)

    Thank you for your quick response Priss, I was going to put the stack of 25 in the steamer.

    Oh Lili, I’m sorry. Yes you can steam all 25 of them together. I thought you were going to cook them on a hot skillet, which should be done one by one. Steaming 25 of them together takes around 4-6 minutes. =) Have fun!

    Hi, after rolling the stacked pieces together – do you (a) peel and cook individually? As opposed to (b) cook the rolled out stack and separate the cooked pieces afterwards? I tried (b) and found they wouldn’t separate easily! Flavour was yum though. I saw somewhere else that you can just stack 2 and cook them together.
    Thanks for the recipe by the way! I’ve always wanted to know how to cook these!

    Hello Daphne!

    Thanks for stopping by and I’m glad you like this. & yup it’s something I’ve always wanted to make too!
    Sorry the instructions were a bit confusing to you. I brush each slightly flattened pancake with sesame oil first, stack them all together, roll them all together till they reach the thickness and size to your liking, AND THEN steam them all together. Because there’s sesame oil in between each pieces, it would be very easy to separate each pieces.

    Did you brush them with sesame oil individually? Did you steam them?

    Hi, when I steam the pancakes do I steam them in a stack? If I don’t steam the, in a stack can I overlap them?
    Thanks for the recipe

    Hi, does it matter if I use unbleached or bleached all purpose flour?
    This looks amazing!

    Hi,
    Am I suppose to put parchment paper under the pancake stack when I steam. I made these and all the flour wouldn’t mix in and the it ended up not being as dry as I wanted, any tips?

  17. priss says:

    Hi Riley,

    No you don’t need to put parchment paper underneath when you steam them. I used a stacked stainless steal pot. You can also use a bamboo steamer too if you wanna be fancy. But I think your problem is mixture. What do you mean the flour wouldn’t mix in? Were you able to make it into a dough and roll it out into thin pancakes?

  18. Riley says:
    March 15, 2013 at 9:08 am

    Not all the flour mixed in with water. I thought it was ok but when the pancakes came out of the steamer they weren’t dry enough. It was hard to make the dough into the pancakes.

    Make sure you use boiling hot water and knead it into a dough with no lumps before steaming. Good luck!

    Thanks for this recipe! The taste of the wrappers are perfect, and taste very similar to the ones in restaurants. The only problem is mine were rolled out too thin around the centre and not thin enough at the edges, which made it hard to peel off neatly and thinly. We peeled it off more in jagged pieces, but that didnt affect the taste really. Next time I will not roll them so thin and will try to even out the edges, and add lots more sesame oil to each. I also want to say I made a vegetarian version of Peking duck, with thin sliced pan fried tempeh, along with the other usual condiments of hoisin sauce, scallions and cucumbers and we didn’t miss the meat at all! was delicious! Could be an idea for vegetarians out there who love Peking duck? Thanks again for the recipe!

    Thank you so much for this recipe! I’ve been craving Peking Duck ever since I got back from Beijing. My boyfriend is going for it, but was going to use flour tortillas. I was not having it. Thanks for your help!
