Crispy scallion pancakes, a beloved Chinese street food, are golden, flaky, and loaded with fragrant scallions. Here’s a simple guide to making them at home.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup warm water
- ½ tsp salt
- 3 tbsp cooking oil
- 6-8 fresh scallions, finely chopped
- Extra oil for frying
Steps:
1. Make the dough: Mix flour and salt in a bowl. Gradually add warm water, kneading into a smooth dough. Let it rest for 30 minutes.
2. Prepare the filling: Chop scallions and set aside.
3. Shape the pancake: Roll the dough into a thin rectangle. Brush with 1 tbsp oil, sprinkle scallions evenly, then roll into a log. Coil the log into a spiral, flatten gently, and roll into a ½-inch thick circle.
4. Cook the pancake: Heat 2 tbsp oil in a pan over medium heat. Place the pancake and cook for 3-4 minutes until golden, then flip and cook the other side. Press gently with a spatula for even crispiness.
5. Serve: Cut into wedges and enjoy hot with soy sauce or chili dip.
Tips: For extra flakiness, repeat the rolling and coiling step twice. Adjust scallion quantity to taste! These pancakes are best fresh but reheat well in a toaster.
