Ingredients

• 200 g All-Purpose Flour (sifted)
• 120 ml Water (cold)
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 3 stalks Scallions (finely chopped)
• 2 tbsp Vegetable Oil (for pan‑frying)
• 10 leaves Taiwanese Basil (roughly torn)
• 2 large Egg (cooked sunny‑side‑up)
• 4 slices Ham (thinly sliced)

• 4 tbsp Shredded Cheese (mozzarella or mild cheddar)
• 2 tsp Soy Sauce (light soy sauce)

Instructions

1. Make the Dough

   In a mixing bowl combine the sifted flour, salt, and chopped scallions. Gradually add cold water while stirring with a whisk until a shaggy dough forms.

   Time: PT10M

2. Knead and Rest

   Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth. Shape into a ball, coat lightly with oil, cover with plastic wrap, and let rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.

   Time: PT35M

3. Prepare Toppings

   While the dough rests, fry the eggs sunny‑side‑up, slice the ham, thaw corn if frozen, shred the cheese, and tear the basil leaves.

   Time: PT10M

4. Roll Out Pancake

   Divide the rested dough into two equal pieces. On a lightly floured surface, roll each piece into a 12‑inch circle, about 3 mm thick.

   Time: PT5M

5. Cook Pancake

   Heat 1 tbsp oil in a non‑stick skillet over medium‑high heat (≈190°C). Place one rolled pancake in the pan, cook 2‑3 minutes until golden brown spots appear, flip and cook the other side another 2‑3 minutes. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the second pancake using the remaining oil.

   Time: PT12M

   Temperature: 190°C

6. Assemble Toppings

   While the pancake is still hot, layer basil leaves, a sunny‑side‑up egg, two ham slices, corn kernels, and shredded cheese on one half. Drizzle soy sauce and hot sauce to taste, then fold the pancake over the toppings.

   Time: PT3M

7. Serve

   Cut the assembled pancake into wedges and serve hot with extra soy and hot sauce on the side.

   Time: PT2M
