Crispy Duck Pancakes

[Marcussikreyvingx]

Using an easy-to-follow recipe we discovered online, my friends and I used to enjoy creating crispy duck pancakes after class in high school.
It was an enjoyable and wonderful way to relax and spend time together.

Ingredients​

• ½ cucumber, cut into thin matchsticks
• small bunch spring onions, shredded

For the duck​

• 1 tbsp honey
• 1 tsp Chinese five-spice powder
• 2 duck breasts (about 170g each)

For the plum sauce​

• 5 plums, halved and stoned
• 50ml agave syrup
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• ½ tsp Chinese five-spice powder

For the pancakes​

• 150g plain flour
• rapeseed oil, for brushing
  
  
  

Method​

• STEP 1
  The duck
  Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Mix the honey and five-spice in a bowl, then brush all over the duck. Transfer to a roasting tin and roast for 25-30 mins until bronzed. Cool for 10 mins, then shred the meat and finely slice the skin.
  
• STEP 2
  Plum sauce
  While the duck is cooking, put all the plum sauce ingredients in a saucepan and simmer gently over a medium heat for 15 mins or until the plums are soft and the sauce is thick. Using a stick blender, blend until smooth.
  
• STEP 3
  Pancakes
  While the sauce is cooking, put the flour, 125ml boiling water and a pinch of salt in a bowl and mix together until it forms a dough. When cool enough to handle, knead for 5-10 mins. Divide it into 10 little balls and roll each one out as thin as you can. Brush a frying pan with the oil and cook each pancake over a medium heat for 20 secs each side or until cooked but not browned.
  
• STEP 4
  To serve
  Spread a pancake with a little plum sauce. Top with the shredded duck, a few pieces of cucumber and spring onion.

I can almost taste the flavorful combination of tender duck, crunchy cucumber, and tangy plum sauce. Do you have any tips for achieving that perfect crispy texture on the duck? Can't wait to try making these at home!
