How to Make Chive and Egg Pancakes

Chive and egg pancakes are a savory, comforting dish loved for their crispy crust and flavorful filling. Here’s a simple guide to making them at home.

Ingredients: For the dough, mix 2 cups all-purpose flour with ½ tsp salt, gradually add ¾ cup warm water, and knead into a smooth ball. Let it rest for 30 minutes. For the filling, whisk 4 eggs with a pinch of salt, then scramble them in a pan until set. Chop 2 cups fresh chives, mix with the scrambled eggs, 1 tbsp sesame oil, and ½ tsp pepper.

Steps:

1. Prepare the dough: Divide the rested dough into 8 equal parts. Roll each into a thin circle, brush with oil, and fold into a layered square. Roll again into a larger circle.

2. Add filling: Place 1-2 tbsp of the chive-egg mixture in the center, fold the edges to seal, and press gently into a flat cake.

3. Cook: Heat 2 tbsp oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry each pancake for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.

Serve hot with soy sauce or vinegar dip. These pancakes are perfect for breakfast or as a snack, offering a delightful mix of textures and flavors. Enjoy!
