Scallion Pancakes

 

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • Oil (vegetable or sesame oil)
  • Salt, to taste
  • 1 bunch green onions, finely chopped
  • Additional options: minced garlic, sesame seeds, or other herbs for flavor

Instructions:

1. Make the Dough:

  • Place the flour in a mixing bowl and slowly add the boiling water, stirring with a spoon until you have a rough dough. Let it cool for a few minutes.
  • Knead the dough on a floured surface until it’s smooth, about 5 minutes. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour.
  • Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for about 30 minutes.

2. Prepare the Scallions:

  • While the dough is resting, chop the green onions finely.

3. Shape the Pancakes:

  • Divide the dough into 4 equal parts. Roll each part into a ball.
  • Take one ball of dough and roll it into a thin circle about 8 inches in diameter.
  • Brush the top of the dough circle lightly with oil, sprinkle with salt, and then distribute a generous amount of green onions.
  • Roll the dough circle into a log, then coil the log into a round dough ball.
  • Flatten the coiled dough ball into a disc, taking care to keep as much of the green onions inside the dough as possible.

4. Cook the Pancakes:

  • Heat a tablespoon of oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  • Place one pancake in the skillet, and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  • Repeat with the remaining pancakes, adding more oil as needed.

5. Serve:

  • Serve the pancakes hot, cut into wedges if desired. They can be enjoyed on their own or with a dipping sauce such as soy sauce mixed with a little sesame oil and a splash of vinegar.

This recipe should give you delicious, crispy scallion pancakes, similar to the flatbreads shown in the image. They’re great as a snack, appetizer, or side dish!
