This recipe brings back memories of my childhood when my mom used to make these delicious baked pork savory pancakes. The crispy exterior combined with the flavorful pork filling is simply irresistible. It's a perfect snack or appetizer for any occasion, and the aroma that fills the kitchen while baking is absolutely delightful.

Combine all the filling ingredients in a mixing bowl. Mix everything well and stir until the meat filling becomes sticky and cohesive.
Sprinkle some flour on the silicone sheet or cutting board to prevent sticking. Cut the flatbread into two portions and fold in half.
Roll out the half piece slightly larger. Put in the filling. Seal the edges and flatten it with the seam side down. Place the filling into the center and seal it like wrapping a steamed bun (baozi). Slightly flatten it.
Ensure there are no holes left in the seal and the seam side is stuck tightly to prevent fillings from leaking out when baked.
Place the prepared pancakes on a lined tray and bake at 200°C (400°F) for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway. Bake until golden, crisp, and slightly puffed.
Make sure the filling is well-mixed and sticky to ensure it holds together during baking.
Seal the edges tightly to prevent the filling from leaking out while baking.
Flipping the pancakes halfway ensures even baking and a crispy texture on both sides.
Can I use a different type of meat for the filling?
Yes, you can substitute ground pork with ground chicken, turkey, or beef, but the flavor profile may vary.
What are hand grabbed pancakes?
Hand grabbed pancakes are a type of flatbread commonly used in Chinese cuisine. You can find them in Asian grocery stores or make them at home.
Can I pan-fry instead of baking?
Yes, you can pan-fry the pancakes over medium heat until golden and crispy on both sides. This will give a slightly different texture.
How do I store leftovers?
Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or on a skillet before serving.
Can I freeze these pancakes?
Yes, you can freeze the uncooked pancakes. Place them on a tray to freeze individually, then transfer to a freezer bag. Bake directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
I loved to cook and enjoyed learning about all sort of cuisines. Today, I am still in the kitchen and every chance I get, I cook. Some days it isn’t even fancy or a hard recipe. Some days it’s a classic, but something that I’ve created. Cooking is my time to be me.
