Equipment

  • 1 Mixing bowl
  • 1 Rolling Pin
  • 1 Skillet
  • 1 Spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups 250g all-purpose flour (plus extra for dusting)
  • 1 cup 240ml boiling water
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup 60ml sesame oil
  • 1 cup 100g scallions, finely chopped (green parts only)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper - optional
  • Oil - for frying

Instructions
 

  • Combine flour and salt in a mixing bowl. Gradually add boiling water and mix until the dough comes together. Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth (about 5 minutes). Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
  • Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll out each portion into a thin circle (about 8 inches in diameter).
  • Brush each circle with sesame oil, sprinkle evenly with scallions and black pepper (if using). Roll each circle into a log, then coil it into a spiral. Flatten gently with your palm and roll it out again into a flat pancake.
  • Heat a skillet over medium heat and add oil. Fry each pancake for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden and crispy. Repeat with remaining pancakes.
  • Cut into wedges and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

For an extra kick, consider adding some sesame oil to the dough for added flavor. You can also substitute green onions with chives or herbs of your choice to create variations!
Experiment with different dipping sauces; soy sauce with vinegar and chili oil pairs beautifully with these pancakes!
