Instructions
-
Preparation: Start by gathering all the ingredients. In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, tapioca flour, mixed seasoning flour, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix well and set aside.
-
-
Egg Mixture: In another bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until well beaten. Season the eggs with a pinch of salt and ground black pepper, then add 1 teaspoon of cooking oil to the mixture. Whisk again until fully combined.
-
Cooking the Eggs: Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, pour a small amount of the egg mixture into the center of the pan and quickly spread it into a thin, even layer. Repeat this process until all the egg mixture is used up, creating multiple thin egg pancakes.
-
Cutting the Eggs: Once the egg pancakes have cooled slightly, cut them into bite-sized pieces, approximately the size of your finger, or according to your preference.
-
Dipping Batter: In a small bowl, take 2 tablespoons of the flour mixture and mix it with 7 tablespoons of warm water to create a dipping batter.
-
Coating the Egg Pieces: Dip each piece of the cut egg pancake into the dipping batter one by one, ensuring they are fully coated, then roll them in the remaining flour mixture until evenly coated.
-
Frying: In a large skillet, heat cooking oil over medium-low heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the coated egg pieces to the pan, making sure not to overcrowd the skillet. Fry until golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally for even cooking.
-
Serving: Once the egg pieces are golden and crispy, remove them from the oil and let them drain on a paper towel to absorb excess oil. Serve warm as a delicious snack or appetizer.
Tips
- For extra flavor, consider adding spices or herbs to the flour mixture.
- Adjust the thickness of the egg pancakes based on your preference for crispiness.
- Serve with a dipping sauce of your choice for added taste.
