Tips for making breakfast egg pancakes

  • Be sure to brush the pan with cold oil before adding the batter for the next pancake.
  • Chinese breakfast egg pancakes can be served flat, or rolled as omelets as shown here.
  • Stir the egg and flour mix before pouring the batter into the pan. Otherwise, the flour will settle to the bottom.
  • Take care to tilt and rotate the pan so that the egg batter is evenly spread and heated.
  • Shake the pan slightly to keep the egg pancakes from sticking to the bottom.
  • Regular ham makes a good substitute for Chinese ham sausage.
