How To Make Mandarin Pancakes

3. Next, divide your dough into small balls and apply sesame oil over each.
4. Combine a pair of balls together, then use a rolling pin to flatten them into thin pancakes.
5. Cook each pancake in a non-stick skillet over medium heat for 2 minutes each side. Separate the pancakes while they’re still warm.
