Chapter 257: Chapter 257 Farewell Kiss (4)_1 Chapter 257: Chapter 257 Farewell Kiss (4)_1 After steaming the ribs, Lin Yuan started to make the pocket pancake.
In fact, making pocket pancakes is quite simple, it’s nothing more than cooking a pancake first, then stuffing various ats and vegetables in the middle of it.
But this seemingly simple thing also requires skill, because so people need to use a knife to completely split open the middle of the pancake, while Lin Yuan’s pocket pancake doesn’t need that, just splitting the edges open.
The middle of the pocket pancake naturally forms layers, and that’s Lin Yuan’s little secret to making pancakes.
She divided the well-risen dough into palm-sized portions, then brushed a layer of oil on the surface and gathered the outer layer inward.
That was Lin Yuan’s secret to making hollow pancakes.
Once the dough was portioned out, she rolled each piece into a small round pancake.
To prevent the dough from drying out, Lin Yuan specifically found two clean cloths and covered each pancake with cloth after rolling, until all of the dough had been rolled into pancakes.
At this point, you couldn’t just put it in the pan to fry yet; a second ferntation was necessary, or else the pancakes wouldn’t easily beco hollow when fried.
While waiting for the dough to fernt again, Lin Yuan took out the flat-bottod pan she had custom-made at Old Iron Head’s place and cleaned it.
In fact, she had ordered quite a few pans that day, but since the house was not yet finished and the kitchen had not been built, there was no place for these large pans at ho.
Hence, Lin Yuan had only taken the flat-bottod pan and the soup pot that she might need.
Since she had a small stove, she wouldn’t have to move the large iron plate used for making mooncakes this ti.
To be honest, it was her first ti using a flat-bottod pan in her life, and one could only imagine her excitent.
Xia Zheng quietly watched her from the side, enjoying the last monts together before they parted.
Lin Yuan was also reluctant to see him leave, and although she was loath to have him standing in the doorway, inhaling the sll of cooking oil, she didn’t send him away.
The sight of the flat-bottod pan raised Xia Zheng’s eyebrows even higher, as it was the first ti he had seen such a pan.
Not even the Imperial kitchen in the Palace had such pans.
“This thing is so strange,” he said.
Lin Yuan put the flat-bottod pan on the small stove to heat it up and smiled, “Yes, this is called a flat-bottod pan.
I had it custom-made.”
Only his woman could co up with such novel items.
Xia Zheng’s eyes heated up even more as he watched Lin Yuan, wishing he could bring this girl back to the Capital city, to show those annoying won who clung to him the kind of woman who really deserved to stand beside him, Xia Zheng.
Once the flat-bottod pan was hot, she didn’t put any oil in it but directly placed the small pancake inside.
Once it had inflated sufficiently, she flipped it to fry the other side.
It didn’t take long before a pocket pancake was ready.
Lin Yuan gently prodded the inflated pocket pancake with her finger to check if it was done.
Xia Zheng, on the other hand, looked on in amazent, “What’s inside this?
How can it puff up so high?”
“It’s empty inside.” After taking the first pocket pancake out of the pan with a spatula and wrapping it in cloth to prevent it from becoming dry, Lin Yuan picked up the second small pancake and put it into the flat-bottod pan.
Xia Zheng was even more astonished and, while she wasn’t looking, sneakily took the first pocket pancake, ready to tear it open with his hands.
“Don’t tear it!”
Good thing Lin Yuan had sharp eyes; otherwise, her pocket pancake would have been ruined by Xia Zheng.
“I just wanted to see what’s inside,” he pouted, looking wronged.
Lin Yuan shook her head, wordlessly took the pocket pancake from his hands, pressed it gently with her left hand, and with the knife in her right hand, slowly made a cut along the edge of the pancake.
Then, she opened it to show him.
“See, there’s nothing inside, it’s hollow.
That’s why it’s called pocket pancake.”
