  • Total Time: 42 minutes
  • Yield: Makes approximately 4 pancakes 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup boiling water
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped scallions
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil (for frying)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt. Gradually stir in boiling water until a shaggy dough forms.
  2. Allow the dough to cool, then knead on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth. Cover with a damp cloth and rest for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Divide the dough into four equal portions and roll each into a thin circle (about 10 inches).
  4. Sprinkle chopped scallions over each circle, drizzle with oil, and sprinkle with salt before rolling tightly like a jelly roll.
  5. Coil each rolled piece into a spiral shape and gently flatten it, then roll out again into thin circles.
  6. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat and fry each pancake for about 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Drain excess oil on paper towels.
