Flour Oil
Let's make the flour oil. Combine all the ingredients for the flour oil in a pan. Cook the mixture on low heat. Mix until smooth. Cook until slightly thickened.
Divide the dough in preferred amounts. I divided mine in 6 pieces. Take a piece of dough . Coat with some flour. Roll it out in a big rectangle +/- 1 - 2 mm thick. Brush a layer of the flour oil on top of the dough. Spread a layer of spring onion on top. Roll it up into a string. Pinch the sides to close it.
Then roll up the string into a circle. Tuck the end underneath. Roll each scallion pancake into a thin pancake/ desired thickness.
