INGREDIENTS:
1 large egg, lightly beaten 5 tablespoons all-purpose flour 4 tablespoons water
a little peanut or corn oil 4 tablespoons canned red bean paste peanut or corn oil for deep-frying



1 In a mixing bowl blend the egg and flour together to a paste. Stir in the water, gradually diluting the paste to a thin, runny consistency. Divide the mixture into 2 equal portions.
2 Put a smear of oil on an 8-inch flat, nonstick frying pan and wipe all over with a paper towel. Pour all but 1 teaspoon of one portion of the mixture into the frying pan and tilt it to let the mixture run evenly to the edges, forming a thin layer.
3 Cook over low heat for about 2 minutes, or until it becomes a thin pancake but without any brown spots. Do not turn the pancake over.
4 Loosen the edges and, using a spatula, lift the pancake to a lightly oiled plate or a flat surface.
5 Make the other pancake the same way.
