Roti Jala (Malaysian Lacy Pancakes)

Malaysian Dessert recipe from the Wikibooks Cookbook.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

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