GREEN ONION PANCAKES RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Place flour in a bowl. Add hot water slowly in a steady stream, mixing well after each addition. Add cold water; mix until no dry spots remain. Knead dough lightly by hand until a ball is formed. Place dough in an oiled resealable plastic bag; seal the bag and let dough rest for 30 minutes.
• Place scallions in a bowl; season with salt and pepper.
• Roll dough out onto a floured work surface into a thin rectangle using a rolling pin. Spread butter all over; sprinkle evenly with salt and pepper. Spread scallions over the dough, leaving top edge of the dough empty. Roll dough up carefully from the opposite edge, keeping scallions in place and pulling dough a little with every roll to make it tight.
• Cut the roll into 3- to 4-inch-long pieces by hand; pinch and seal both ends. Lightly flatten each piece into a circular pancake.
• Heat a nonstick saucepan with oil; cook pancakes until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Crush 2 sides of the pancakes with spoons or ladles until flaky.

Steps:

• Combine 2 cups flour and 1 cup boiling water in a bowl. Stir with chopsticks until cool enough to handle. Massage with your hands until the mixture becomes a dough. Transfer to a flour-dusted work surface and knead for 5 minutes. Return dough to the bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Return dough to a flour-dusted work surface. Shape into a rectangular loaf shape. Cut the dough into 4 equal-sized pieces; return 3 pieces to the refrigerator.
• Roll 1 piece of dough out into a 10-inch circle using a rolling pin. Spread 4 teaspoons oil on the surface. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 the green onions. Roll circle up into a scroll shape. Roll the scroll sideways into a cinnamon-roll shape. Press down on the roll using the rolling pin to gently flatten it into a 7-inch pancake. Repeat with the remaining dough and oil.
• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a wok over medium heat. Transfer the pancake to the hot wok; flip after 30 seconds. Flip again every 1 to 2 minutes until both side are golden, 3 to 5 minutes total. Cook the remaining 3 pancakes, adding 2 tablespoons oil to the skillet each time.
