Broccoli Corn and Shallot Pancake
Ingredients
- 2-1/2 cups flour (all-purpose, whole-wheat pastry or gluten-free)
- 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil (spicy version used)
- 1 cup boiling water
- 2 large minced shallots
- 1 cup shaved broccoli florets (about 2 heads)
- 1 cup corn kernels (defrosted and drained)
- neutral flavored oil (for sautéing and frying)
- sriracha, ketchup, and soy sauce for serving
Preparation
In a large bowl, whisk 2-1/2 cups flour and 1 teaspoon salt.
Add 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil and 1 cup boiling water, mix to incorporate using a wooden spoon until shaggy dough forms.
Knead on floured surface until smooth, about 5 minutes, adding flour as needed to prevent sticking.
Form dough into a ball and cover with a damp towel, let rest for 1 hour.
Meanwhile, sauté 2 large minced shallots, 1 cup shaved broccoli florets, and 1 cup corn kernels in a little neutral flavored oil, salt to taste, and set aside.
Use a pastry cutter to divide the rested dough into 8 equal parts.
Roll each part into a ball and cover with a damp towel.
Remove one ball and roll into a flat pancake about 10-inches in diameter.
Brush with oil and spread 1/4 cup broccoli and corn filling evenly on the pancake.
Roll filling into pancake like a jelly roll to form a tube.
Form a pinwheel shape with the tube.
Use a rolling pin to form a 5-inch pancake from the pinwheel.
Keep under damp towel on floured surface and repeat for the other 7 balls.
Dust each with a little flour before pan frying in a non-stick skillet with 1 tablespoon heated neutral oil.
Flip once underside has browned, about 3 minutes per side.
Serve with a mixture of sriracha, ketchup, and soy sauce.
