Crispy Savory Sauce Pancake
Make the dough a bit softer for the best texture and flavor. If it sticks, lightly oil the work surface. The finished savory sauce is also great tossed with noodles or glass noodles.

Instructions
1
Step 1
Mix flour as needed with boiling water, stirring until it forms flaky clumps.
2
Step 2
Knead into a smooth dough. Let it rest for 20 minutes.
3
Step 3
Prepare the savory sauce: Pour an appropriate amount of oil into a pot, turn to low heat, add star anise and Sichuan peppercorns, and stir-fry until fragrant.
4
Step 4
Discard the Sichuan peppercorns and star anise, add the minced garlic, and stir-fry over low heat until fragrant.
5
Step 5
Add broad bean paste and stir-fry.
6
Step 6
Add sweet bean sauce and continue stir-frying.
7
Step 7
Add a little chili sauce (the chili sauce used is very spicy, so only a small amount is added)
8
Step 8
Continue adding a small amount of sugar and cumin powder, and stir-fry until well combined.
9
Step 9
Add white sesame seeds.
10
Step 10
Add a small amount of water, turn to high heat, and stir continuously.
11
Step 11
Stir-fry until all the water has evaporated. I added too much oil, so I poured out some excess oil and brushed it onto the dough sheet.
12
Step 12
Take one-third of the dough, roll it into a rectangle, and brush with oil.
13
Step 13
Roll it up from bottom to top.
14
Step 14
Roll it into a long strip.
15
Step 15
Flip the long strip over, then fold the right one-third of the strip to the left.
16
Step 16
Fold the left one-third over to the right and press down, just like folding a quilt.
17
Step 17
Press the dough flat with your hands.
18
Step 18
Use a rolling pin to roll it into a rectangle (the length should not exceed the size of your electric griddle)
19
Step 19
Brush a thin layer of oil on the electric griddle and preheat it, place the pancake inside, and pan-fry over low heat. Be sure to keep the lid covered.
20
Step 20
Pan-fry until both sides are lightly golden. (I used high heat at the end, so when using high heat, be sure to flip the pancake frequently to avoid burning.)
21
Step 21
Transfer to a serving bowl.
22
Step 22
Spread the prepared sauce on top.
23
Step 23
Sprinkle with chopped scallions.
24
Step 24
Cut into pieces and serve.
