How to Make Scallion Egg Pancakes: A Simple Guide

Scallion egg pancakes, a beloved staple in many households, are quick, versatile, and delicious. Here’s a basic recipe to get you started, plus easy variations to suit your taste.

### Basic Recipe

Ingredients: 2 eggs, ½ cup all-purpose flour, ½ cup milk (or water), 1 chopped scallion, ½ tsp salt, 1 tbsp oil (for cooking).

Steps:

1. Mix the batter: In a bowl, beat eggs with salt, then add flour and milk. Whisk until smooth (no lumps). Stir in scallions.

2. Cook the pancake: Heat oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Pour in half the batter, tilting the pan to spread it evenly. Cook for 2–3 minutes until the edges set.

3. Flip and finish: Gently flip the pancake with a spatula. Cook for another 1–2 minutes until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.

### Variations

- Cheesy version: Add ¼ cup shredded cheese to the batter for a rich, savory twist.

- Herby boost: Mix in chopped cilantro or dill for extra freshness.

- Healthier option: Substitute whole wheat flour for all-purpose flour and use almond milk.

- Spicy kick: Add a pinch of chili flakes or chopped chili to the batter.

Serve hot with soy sauce, ketchup, or a dollop of yogurt. These pancakes are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a quick snack—simple to make and impossible to resist!
