−1/2 Cup Flour; sifted  
Eggs  
Cup Water  
Vegetable oil; for pan

Cup Hoisin Sauce  
/2 Fat; 2 Other Carbohydrates  
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Season the entire duck with salt and  
pepper. Place the duck in a roasting pan and roast for 2 hours. In a mixing  
bowl, whisk the flour, eggs, and water together. Whisk until smooth. Season  
the batter with salt. Oil a 6−inch diameter non−stick pan. Heat the pan over  
low heat. Pour 1 tablespoon of the batter into the pan. Let spread over the  
surface of the pan to form a very thin pancake. Cook until the pancake is  
set on top and cooked underneath, about 30 seconds. Flip the pancake over  
and continue to cook for 30 seconds. Pile the cakes on top of each other and  
cover with a damp towel to keep them moist. Repeat the above process until  
all of the batter is used. Remove the duck from the oven and remove the  
wings and legs. Carve the remaining meat into thin slices, reserving the  
skin. To assemble, smear each pancake with the Hoisin sauce. Lay the duck  
slices and crispy skin in the center of each pancake. Roll the pancakes,  
tucking the ends in, like a egg roll/envelope. Garnish each plate with  
either a leg or wing. This recipe yields 4 servings.
