How to Make Chive and Egg Pancakes

Chive and egg pancakes are a quick, delicious, and versatile dish, perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a light dinner. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to making them from scratch.

### Ingredients

- 1 cup all-purpose flour

- 1 cup water (or milk for richer flavor)

- 2 large eggs

- A handful of fresh chives, finely chopped

- Salt and pepper to taste

- 2 tablespoons cooking oil (divided)

- Optional: Soy sauce or hot sauce for serving

### Instructions

1. Prepare the Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk the flour and water until smooth. Add a pinch of salt and let it rest for 10 minutes. This ensures a tender pancake.

2. Mix Fillings: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then stir in chopped chives, pepper, and a dash of salt. Set aside.

3. Cook the Pancake: Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Pour half the batter into the pan, tilting to spread it thinly. Cook for 1–2 minutes until the edges set.

4. Add Egg Filling: Pour the egg mixture evenly over the pancake. Cook for another 2 minutes until the eggs are nearly set.

5. Fold and Finish: Carefully fold the pancake into quarters, pressing gently. Drizzle the remaining oil around the edges and cook for 1 more minute until golden brown and crispy.

6. Serve: Transfer to a plate, cut into wedges, and enjoy with soy sauce or hot sauce.

### Tips

- For extra flavor, add grated ginger or sesame oil to the batter.

- Use low heat to avoid burning and ensure even cooking.

- Serve hot for the best texture!

These pancakes are easy to customize with veggies like bell peppers or mushrooms, making them a go-to for any meal. Enjoy!
