Pancake Ingredients

Method

Pancake Directions

  1. 1

    Make the Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add the boiling water while stirring with a wooden spoon until the mixture begins to come together. Allow it to cool slightly, then knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth, about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Rest the Dough

    Cover the kneaded dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 30 minutes. This allows the gluten to relax, making the pancakes easier to roll out.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Filling

    After resting, divide the dough into four equal pieces. Roll out each piece into a thin circle. Spread a thin layer of vegetable oil over the surface, then sprinkle a portion of the chopped scallions evenly over the oil. Roll the dough tightly into a log, then coil the log into a spiral and flatten it gently.

  4. 4

    Cook the Pancakes

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of vegetable oil. Place one pancake in the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with the remaining pancakes, adding more oil as needed.
