Dump dough on a lightly flour-dusted work surface and shape into a log approximately 12 inches in length. Cut into 10 equally-sized smaller dough.
Take a piece of dough and flatten with your hand into a dish shape. Add about 1 tbsp in the center of dough.
Once it’s done, seal the dough by gathering the corners then roll on top of work surface until smooth. Repeat this for the remaining dough.
Heat 1/4 cup oil in a pan over low-medium heat. Place 1-3 pcs. of dough depending on the size of the pan. Press lightly with a pancake press or turner to flatten and fry for 2-3 minutes.
When pancakes are golden brown on one side, flip pancakes and lightly press again to flatten and cook for additional 2-3 minutes or until golden.
Transfer in a plate and repeat process until pancakes are done. Let them cool down a bit for a couple of minutes then serve while warm. Enjoy! Bon appetit!
