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 meats and vegetables in the middle of it.

But this seemingly simple thing also requires skill, because some 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 fermentation was necessary, or else the pancakes wouldn’t easily become hollow when fried.

While waiting for the dough to ferment again, Lin Yuan took out the flat-bottomed 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 home.

Hence, Lin Yuan had only taken the flat-bottomed 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 time.

To be honest, it was her first time using a flat-bottomed pan in her life, and one could only imagine her excitement.
