Scallion Pancake Recipe - Live Learn Lovewell

Ingredients

• 2 cups flour, and more for surface
• 2 tsp salt, divided into 1 tsps
• 1/2 cups boiling water
• 1/4 cups room temperature water
• 3 tbsp sesame oil, divided into 1 and 2 tbsp
• 2 generous bunches of scallions, chopped
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil (or neutral oil)
• Mix flour and 1 tsp salt together in a bowl until homogeneous
• Transfer dough to floured surface and knead until it is smooth. Add more flour if it continues to stick to itself!
• Rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes under a damp towel or foil. This will help relax the gluten and make a supple dough.
• While dough is resting, combine scallions, rest of sesame oil, and another 1 tsp salt together. Set aside
• Divide into six pieces and roll out into thin circle on surface. Add 1 heaping tablespoon of scallion mix and spread into a thin layer.
• Carefully roll dough away from you, making a log. Roll the log onto itself to make a coil. Cover with damp towel and continue to form dough balls.
• Heat vegetable oil in a small pan until shimmering and add scallion pancake dough ball. Use a spatula to smash it into a thinner circle. Pan fry until crispy and golden, about 3-4 minutes/side
• Garnish with additional scallions and toasted sesames. Feel free to pair with soy sauce or vinegar- Enjoy!
