Scallion Pancakes
Inspired by our upcoming dinner with Kevin Pang, we have all been making scallion pancakes on repeat with the overwintered scallions.
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
3/4 cup boiling water
7 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tsp salt
4 scallions, sliced thinly
Method
- Mix the flour and water together in a bowl until it forms a tacky dough
- Knead for 4 minutes
- cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rest 30 minutes
- Stir together the oils and a tablespoon of flour and set aside
- Divide the dough in half and roll one half into a 12 in round
- Lightly drizzle with the oil-flour mixture and brush all over
- Sprinkle with salt and half the scallions
- Roll into a cylinder, coil the cylinder into a spiral and then flatten the spiral with your hand
- Repeat with the other half of the dough and remaining ingredients
- Roll the first spiral into a 9 inch round with a 1/2 inch slit in the center
- Repeat with the second spiral
- Heat a large frying pan over low heat for 10 minutes to pre-heat
- Add a big glug of vegetable oil and increase heat to medium low
- Place one pancake into the frying pan, cover and cook until golden brown (1-1 1/2 minutes)
- Drizzle oil over the panckae and brush to spread evenly
- Flip the pancake and then cook until the second side is golden brown
- Repeat with the second spiral
- Cut the pancaks into 8 wedges and serve
