1. 1

   Toss flour and salt in bowl; gradually add boiling water, stirring until dough clumps. Turn out onto floured work surface and knead until dough is springy and no longer sticky (about 5 minutes). Cover with plastic film; set aside 30 minutes.

   Divide dough in half; cover half with towel. Roll the other half into a 1/4 inch-thick sheet. Cut out 8 rounds, each 2 1/2 to 3 inches in diameter.

3. 3

   Lightly brush 1 round with oil; top with an unoiled round. Roll the double pancake into a 7 inch circle about 1/8 inch thick; cover with towel and set aside. Repeat with remaining rounds. Then repeat with remaining half of dough.

4. 4
