Step 1

Place flour in a large bowl.

Step 2

Pour boiling water on to of flour and mix well with a fork.

Step 3

Tip dough out on to a flour surface.  Knead until dough is a consistent texture and is slightly sticky (but does not stick to your hands).  You may need to add flour.

Step 4

Form dough in to a ball, dust with flour and cover with plastic wrap.  Leave to rest for 30 minutes.

Step 5

Once rested place dough on a floured surface.  Knead a few more times until the dough is smooth.

Step 6

Shape dough in to a log and divide it in to two pieces.  Wrap one piece in plastic wrap while you work on the other.

Step 7

Roll dough in to a 3.5cm (1.3 inches) thick log.  Cut log in to 2cm (1 inch) pieces.

Step 8

Work with two pieces of dough at a time.  Make sure to cover the rest of the dogh with plastic wrap to stop them drying out.

Step 9

Place vegetable oil in a small bowl.  You will also need a pastry brush.

Step 10

Roll two pieces of dough into balls.  Flatten each dough ball out so they make two round discs.

Step 11

Brush the top of one of the dough discs completely with vegetable oil.  Place the other dough disc on top of the oiled suface.

Step 12

Press the top disc down on top of the oiled disc.  Then roll them out with a rolling pin to make a 13-15cm (5-6 inch) double stacked pancake.

Step 13

Brush each side of this double pancake with a little flour and cover with plastic wrap.  Continue with the rest of the dough discs.

Step 14

Once you have rolled out all the pancakes place a heavy based non stick frying pan on a medium heat.

Step 15

Place one pancake in the pan and cook for around 30 seconds until light brown spots appear on pancake side being cooked.  Once this happens flip pancake and continue cooking on the other side.  Each pancake should take around 1 minute to cook.

Step 16

Remove pancake from the heat and leave to cool slghtly.  Once cooled pull the double pancake apart to make two pancakes.

Step 17

Place on a plate, cover and continue with the rest of the pancakes.
