Ingredients
  

For the Pancakes:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup warm water
  • 1 bunch scallions finely chopped
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • Salt to taste

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Rolling Pin
  • Skillet or frying pan
  • Spatula
  • Knife

Method
 

Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and warm water. Stir until a rough dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth.
  2. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.
  3. While the dough rests, finely chop the scallions and set aside.
  4. After resting, divide the dough into four portions and roll each into a thin circle, about 10 inches in diameter.
  5. Sprinkle scallions and a pinch of salt over the rolled dough, then roll it tightly into a log and coil it into a spiral. Flatten gently.
  6. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry each pancake for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
  7. Transfer cooked pancakes to a paper towel-lined plate. Cut into wedges and serve warm with dipping sauce.
