Hand-grabbed scallion pancakes
When I was a child, I knew how to make scallion pancakes for hot noodles, but one day I ate scallion pancakes from a Henan couple. In order to find out how they made the pancakes in a clear hierarchy, I stood in the morning market and observed their techniques. Hehe, finally I knew how to layer them, so I added this method to my scallion pancakes for improvement...

    Steps 7 and 8 are very important. Generously oil the dough to ensure distinct layers and crispiness when pan-fried. The more coils you make, the more layers there will be. If you like a scallion flavor, you can mix some chopped scallions into the dough; however, Xiao Bing has found that this makes the dough more prone to breaking when rolling into strips or coils.
