Preparation

To Make the Dough:

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, sweet rice flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. Mix well.
  2. Add lukewarm milk and oil; mix well. This is a very sticky dough. Cover and set aside for 1 hour.
  3. Gently deflate the dough and stir well 3-4 times. Cover and set aside for another 30-40 minutes.

To Make the Filling:

  1. Combine all the ingredients for the filling in a small bowl.

To Make the Pancakes:

  1. Generously flour the work surface and divide the dough into 8 pieces. Take a piece of the dough in the palm, roll it into a ball and flatten it lightly.
  2. Put about 1-2 tablespoons filling in the middle of the dough. Press lightly with a spoon and pull the dough over the filling. Form into a ball and flatten it lightly.
  3. Heat 3-4 tablespoons oil in a non-stick pan, place the pancakes on the pan and cook on medium flame for 2-3 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown and crispy. Gently flip and cook on the other side for 2-3 minutes.
