Crispy scallion pancakes, a beloved Chinese street food, are golden, flaky, and loaded with savory flavor. Here’s a simple recipe to recreate them at home.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup warm water
- 1 tsp salt
- 4 tbsp vegetable oil, divided
- 1 cup chopped scallions
Steps:
1. Make the dough: In a large bowl, mix flour and salt. Gradually add warm water, kneading until a smooth, soft dough forms (about 5 minutes). Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
2. Prepare the filling: Chop scallions finely. Mix 2 tbsp oil with the scallions; set aside.
3. Shape the pancake: Divide the dough into 4 equal balls. On a floured surface, roll one ball into a thin rectangle. Brush with 1 tsp oil, spread scallion mixture evenly, then roll into a tight log. Coil it into a spiral, flatten gently, and roll into a 6-inch circle.
4. Cook the pancake: Heat 1 tbsp oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the pancake and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Press gently with a spatula to ensure even cooking. Repeat with remaining dough.
Serve hot with soy-vinegar dipping sauce. Enjoy the perfect balance of crunch and aroma!
