Scallion pancakes, a beloved Chinese street food, are crispy, flaky, and packed with aromatic scallions. Here’s a simple guide to making them at home.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup warm water
- 1 tsp salt
- 4–5 chopped scallions
- 3 tbsp cooking oil
- Extra salt and pepper for sprinkling
Instructions:
1. Make the dough: Mix flour and salt in a bowl. Gradually add warm water, kneading until a smooth dough forms. Let it rest for 30 minutes.
2. Prepare the filling: Chop scallions and mix with 1 tbsp oil, salt, and pepper.
3. Shape the pancake: Roll the dough into a log, divide into 4–6 pieces. Flatten each piece into a circle, brush with oil, and spread scallion filling. Roll it up, coil it, and press into a flat disk.
4. Cook the pancake: Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Cook the pancake for 3–4 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
5. Serve: Cut into wedges and enjoy hot with soy sauce or chili dip.
Tips: For extra flakiness, roll the dough thin and fold multiple layers. Adjust scallion quantity to taste. These pancakes are best fresh but can be reheated in a toaster for crispiness. A versatile dish, they pair perfectly as a snack or side!
