Scalded Dough Sugar Pancakes (No Yeast, No Resting Time)

As a lazy sweet tooth, I’m always on the hunt for easy breakfast recipes. One morning, I found no yeast in my kitchen and no time to wait for dough to rise. So I thought—why not try scalded dough sugar pancakes?

To my surprise, this experiment became my go-to breakfast! The dough comes together instantly with just flour and boiling water, no waiting needed. The pancakes fry up slightly crispy outside, tender inside, with molten sugar filling and toasted sesame aroma—even better than store-bought versions! Now, it’s a weekend staple at my house, and my sugar-averse husband steals bites too.

🔍 Ingredient Breakdown

The recipe uses pantry staples:

• Dough: All-purpose flour (250g) + boiling water (180g). Scalding gelatinizes some starch, making the crust soft yet chewy without yeast.

• Filling: Sugar (50g) + flour (15g, to thicken) + sesame seeds (for crunch). Add cinnamon or peanuts for extra flavor!
  

🍽️Serving Suggestions

Eat fresh for a crisp exterior and gooey center! Pair with soy milk or coffee. Reheat leftovers in a pan (not microwave) to maintain texture.
