Mix flour and water with fork until dough holds together. Turn dough onto lightly floured surface; knead about 8 minutes or until smooth. Shape dough into 8-inch roll; cut roll into eight 1-inch slices. Cut each slice into halves. (Cover pieces of dough with plastic wrap to keep them from drying out.)
Shape each of 2 pieces of dough into a ball; flatten slightly. Roll each ball of dough into a 4-inch circle on lightly floured surface. Brush top of 1 circle with sesame oil; top with remaining circle. Roll each double circle into a 7-inch circle on lightly floured surface. Repeat with remaining pieces of dough. (Cover circles with plastic wrap to keep them from drying out.)
Heat 8- or 9-inch ungreased skillet over medium heat until warm. Cook one double circle at a time, turning frequently, just until pancake is blistered with air pockets, turns slightly translucent and feels dry. (Do not overcook or pancake will become brittle.) Carefully separate into 2 pancakes; loosely fold each pancake into fourths. Repeat each step with remaining circles.
Heat pancakes before serving. Place folded pancakes on heatproof plate or rack in steamer; cover and steam over boiling water 10 minutes. (Add boiling water if necessary.)
*Mandarin pancakes take a little practice to perfect, but they are worth the trouble. Be creative and substitute various meats and vegetables, always thinly shredded. Make pancakes ahead of time, if you choose; cover and refrigerate for 1 day or freeze for up to 2 months. Don't reheat the pancakes in the microwave as they'll get dry. They should be steamed. Mandarin pancakes are great with Mou Shu Pork.

**Of the countless Chinese dishes that include shredded pork, Mou Shu Pork is probably the most intriguing. At the table, diners fill Mandarin pancakes with flavorful, stir-fried pork, green onions and bamboo shoots and then fold them into a Far East version of burritos.
