Scallion Egg Pancakes: A Simple and Delicious Recipe Guide

Scallion egg pancakes are a quick, versatile dish loved for their crispy edges and tender center. Here’s a simple guide to making them at home.

Ingredients: You’ll need 2 large eggs, ½ cup all-purpose flour, ½ cup milk, 1 chopped scallion, ½ tsp salt, and 1 tbsp oil (for cooking). Optional additions include a pinch of black pepper or grated cheese for extra flavor.

Steps:

1. Prepare the batter: In a bowl, whisk eggs until frothy. Gradually add flour and milk, stirring until smooth (no lumps). Fold in chopped scallions and salt.

2. Heat the pan: Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add oil and swirl to coat the pan evenly.

3. Cook the pancake: Pour a ladleful of batter into the pan, tilting to spread it into a thin circle. Cook for 2–3 minutes until the edges set and turn golden.

4. Flip and finish: Gently flip the pancake using a spatula. Cook the other side for 1–2 minutes until lightly browned and cooked through.

5. Serve: Transfer to a plate, cut into wedges, and enjoy warm. Pair with soy sauce or a dollop of sour cream for extra taste.

Tips: For extra crispiness, use a higher heat setting and avoid overcrowding the pan. Feel free to customize with ingredients like bell peppers or ham. These pancakes make a perfect breakfast, snack, or light meal!
