How to Make Sesame Seed and Salted Pepper Scallion Pancakes

Sesame seed and salted pepper scallion pancakes are a crispy, savory snack loved for their flaky layers and aromatic flavor. Here’s a simple recipe to guide you.

Ingredients:

- 2 cups all-purpose flour

- ¾ cup warm water

- 1 tsp salt

- 3 tbsp vegetable oil

- 4 tbsp softened butter

- 2 tbsp toasted sesame seeds

- 1 tsp salted pepper powder

- 3 chopped scallions

Steps:

1. Make the dough: Mix flour and salt, gradually add warm water and knead into a smooth dough. Rest for 30 minutes.

2. Prepare the filling: Combine softened butter, sesame seeds, salted pepper, and scallions.

3. Shape the pancake: Roll the dough into a thin rectangle, spread the filling evenly, then roll into a log. Coil it like a snail, flatten gently, and roll into a ½-inch thick circle.

4. Cook: Heat a skillet over medium-low heat. Brush the pancake with oil, cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden and crispy.

Tips: For extra flakiness, repeat the rolling and folding process twice. Serve warm with a dipping sauce of soy-vinegar. Enjoy this homemade treat that’s crispy, flavorful, and utterly addictive!
