Makes enough for: pancakes

Place the flour into a stand mixer bowl and make a well in the centre
Pour in the boiling water and use a dough hook to mix it together until a dough forms
Knead for 10 minutes then cover with a damp cloth and leave to rest for 15 minutes
Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and roll to 2mm thick
Use a 6cm cookie cutter and cut out 16 discs, rerolling the dough as necessary
Brush 8 of the discs with the oil then top each one with a disc you have not brushed with oil
Roll out each disc to between 12-and-15cm wide, rotating the dough in quarter circle clockwise turns every now and then to keep them circular in shape
Flip the dough over, roll once and then set aside and cover with a dry cloth, until all are done
Place a heavy bottomed non stick saucepan over a high temperature for 30 seconds
Reduce the temperature to medium and cook the pancakes, one at a time for 1 minute each side
When they are cooked, separate the two halves and stack them on a plate, covered with foil, until all are cooked and you are ready to serve them
