Scallion Egg Pancakes: A Simple & Delicious Guide

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

Ingredients: 2 eggs, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup milk, 3-4 chopped scallions, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp pepper, and 2 tbsp oil for cooking.

Steps:

1. Prepare the batter: In a bowl, whisk eggs until smooth. Add flour, milk, salt, and pepper, mixing until no lumps remain. Stir in scallions.

2. Heat the pan: Pour oil into a non-stick pan over medium heat. Once hot, pour in half the batter (for a thick pancake) or spread thinly for a crispier version.

3. Cook: Let it cook for 2-3 minutes until the edges set and the bottom turns golden. Flip carefully and cook for another 1-2 minutes until done.

4. Serve: Cut into wedges and enjoy warm, optionally with soy sauce or a drizzle of chili oil.

Variations: Add cheese for richness, or mix in diced carrots/corn for extra veggies. For a fluffier texture, separate eggs and beat the whites into peaks before folding into the batter.

These pancakes are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a light snack—easy to customize and ready in under 20 minutes!
