Roti Jala (Malaysian Lacy Pancakes)

Ingredients

• 4 cups wheat flour
• 3 cups water
• 2 standard eggs
• 2 tsp fine salt
• A few drops of food coloring (desired color; optional)

Method

1. Combine all the ingredients in a blender, and blend until you get a well-combined batter. Over-blending will produce excess foam.
2. Let the batter rest for 30 minutes.
3. Transfer the batter to a squeeze-bottle with a nozzle (see notes).
4. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat.
5. If necessary, use a paper towel to lightly grease the pan with some oil.
6. Use the squeeze bottle to drizzle batter over the surface of the pan in a swirling, lacy pattern.
7. Let the pancake cook just until dry—avoid excessive coloration.
8. Remove from the pan, transfer to a plate, and roll or fold up.
9. Repeat the cooking process until you have used up all the batter.
10. Serve warm.
