Ingredients
Pancakes:
- 1 cup flour
- 2 ounces lard
- 16 ounces water, hot
Peking Duck:
- 1 (5 to 7 pound) duck, preferably fresh
- 3 teaspoons salt
- 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
- 1 1/2 teaspoons hoisin sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon five spice powder
- 1 gallon boiling water
- 1 teaspoon light corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon maltose
- 1 teaspoon vinegar
- Shredded carrots
- Sliced scallions
Directions
To make the pancakes: Mix the flour, lard, and hot water together and kneed it into dough. Roll it out making the pancakes about 2 millimeters thick, cut out the pancakes in circles 5-inches in diameter. Then slightly pan-fry both sides in a hot pan without oil.
To make the Peking duck: Rinse and pluck the duck and then hang to dry for about 15 minutes. Put the salt, pepper, hoisin sauce, and five-spice powder inside the duck to marinate it. Then put the duck into the refrigerator for 4 to 6 hours.
Hold the duck upright and pour the hot boiling water onto its body until it is puffed. Combine the corn syrup, maltose, and vinegar. Paint the duck with a thin layer of the corn syrup mixture. Hang the duck for 4 to 5 hours in a dry area while using a fan to help blow dry it. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F oven and roast the duck for 40 minutes.
Let meat rest for 15 minutes after cooking. Remove the skin and fat layer from the duck. Scrape the fat from the skin and cut the skin into thin strips. Cut the meat into thin slices. Paint a pancake with hoisin sauce. Put the skin and meat slices onto the hoisin, top with shredded carrots and scallion slices, and then roll the pancake up. Repeat with remaining ingredients.

The recipe for the pancakes is completely wrong, it took a few oz of water to make a workable dough, then they were nasty. Better off using soft taco shells from the grocery store than these. I lived in beijing for 6 months, so i have a clue on what they should be like...

Needs much more than 1 cup of flour to make the dough using 16 oz of water.

Made this for Valentine's Day. Told my girlfriend, "You better love it for the trouble I went through, then again I hope you hate it as I will not cook it again".
Very good though! You don't have to let it marinade for 5 hours, didn't taste it in the duck. I could not find the product needed to mix with corn syrup so used molasses. It was fine. Bottom line is that it was great tasteing, but not much meat for the trouble. Next time I will use chicken and hope she won't be able to tell the differance with the sauce.
