Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (250g)
  • ¾ cup boiling water (180ml)
  • ½ cup finely chopped scallions (about 4-5 stalks)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for brushing)
  • Additional vegetable oil for frying

Instructions:

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine flour and boiling water. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
  2. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth. Cover with a damp cloth and let rest for 30 minutes.
  3. In a small bowl, mix chopped scallions and salt.
  4. Divide rested dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion out into a thin circle (about 8 inches in diameter).
  5. Brush rolled dough with vegetable oil, sprinkle with scallion mixture, and roll tightly into a log. Coil the log into a spiral and flatten gently.
  6. Roll the spiral into a round pancake again, about ¼ inch thick.
  7. In a skillet, heat a few tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat.
  8. Fry each pancake for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
  9. Transfer pancakes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm.
