Please can someone tell me what the pancakes are called in the shops when they're sold on their own?

I checked all the local suppliers (Auchan, Cactus, Match, Delhaize...) and struck out, so will now need to go to the Asian supermarket in Luxembourg's capital village.

We've loads of duck in the freezer at home, Hoi Sin in the cupboard, but no pancakes. HELP, please PH.

If you get really desperate, pop into your local Chinese take-away....they'll sell you some...might even give them to you.

Chinese restaurants here are not even as good as most Chinese takeaways in the UK
Sad, but true.

(They're all fronts for the money cleaning exercises here....)

I have just gone to Sainsburys,and I can buy a whole duck kit :facepalm: but no pancakes !

I just bought 100 Sky Dragon pancakes. From here: http://tsfoods.net/ (more use for P&M than 5Pot)

£3 for 10 packs of 10.

Trying this for the first time for a dinner tonight, looking forward to the results!

ETA: Absolute raging success, so thanks for the recipe - one person said it was better than their local restaurants!

Half price Duck in Tescos today. Don't know if it is nationwide.

Will get one on after the rugby.

I saw duck on special in my local Scotmid and thought I would try this. After no luck getting the pancakes in Scotmid or Asda I made my own.






The dough is made with Plain flour, Caster sugar and hot water. I rolled the dough out and cut 2" discs with a pastry cutter. You then coat one disc with Sesame oil stick another on top and roll it very thin then pan fry and peel them apart. It took a bit of time and practice but they tasted much nicer than the ones you buy. I don't think I would like to make any more than for two people.

On my third of one of these

I normally don't like all these indian / chinese / italian etc ready meals from the supermarket compared to the real thing but here this duck actually is better than your local cheap takeaway.

Works perfectly all the time, crispy skin and not too greasy like the Ho Chi Min local 5 star cooking something in the deep fat fryer. Well worth a go. In fact get this and then get all the other stuff from the Chinese you cannot buy for your trolley and save yourself some money.

Very easy to carve too. Go for it.

^^^^^ defeats the object....... my enjoyment is knowing I've prepped it and made it from as near to scratch as I can.

Bit like buying fish, I like the decsalling, gutting and filleting as much as much as the eating.
