Scallion Pancake Dough

To make the dough first add hot water to the flour. Stir with chopsticks to mix. Add the room temperature water. Mix again.
Start kneading with your hands. Knead until a dough forms. When dough forms knead 5 more minutes until smooth. Let the dough rest for 30 Min.


In the meantime let's prepare the other ingredients! Cut spring onion in small pieces.

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.








Pancakes are ready to cook! Heat up pan with some oil. Cook pancake both sides until golden brown.
