Delicious Scallion Pancakes Recipe - Easy to Make

Ingredients

Servings:
8
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 cup boiling water (Add gradually to flour)
  • 1 cup scallions, chopped
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup vegetable oil (For frying)
  • 1 tsp sesame oil (For flavoring)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Dough

    In a bowl, mix flour and salt. Gradually add boiling water while stirring until a dough forms.

    Allow the dough to rest for about 30 minutes covered with a damp cloth.
  2. Knead the Dough

    Knead the rested dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth.

    Keep some extra flour on hand to prevent sticking.
  3. Shape the Pancakes

    Divide the dough into equal portions, roll each into a circle, and brush with sesame oil, then sprinkle with scallions.

    Roll tightly to create layers for flakiness.
  4. Cook the Pancakes

    Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry each pancake until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

    Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.
  5. Serve

    Remove from skillet, drain on paper towels, and cut into wedges.

    Serve warm with soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
