Easy Chinese Duck Pancakes Two Ways - Classic and Crispy

Duck Pancakes - First item on the menu for the new series is duck pancakes! This is a chinese take out favourite that is very easy to make yourself for a fraction of the price. For these you will want to get started early as the duck alone will take almost 4 hours cooking time (only 5 minutes of preparation though)

Once the duck has had its first cook in oil and the pancakes are cooked, you can keep these in the freezer for up to 6 months so it might be worth while to make a large batch so you only need to defrost and roast the duck for 30 minutes whenever you fancy yourself a big pile of duck pancakes.
