Green Onion Pancake
Description
These Chinese-style green onion pancakes are kneaded with a unique but easy technique and drizzled with butter to make extra flaky results!
Ingredients
•
3 cups all-purpose flour
•
1 cup hot water
•
1/2 cup cold water
•
1 cup chopped scallions, or to taste
•
salt and ground black pepper to taste
•
1/4 cup butter, softened
•
1 1/2 teaspoons vegetable oil, or as needed
Directions
1
Place flour in a bowl. Add hot water in a slow, steady stream while mixing constantly. Add cold water; mix until no dry spots remain.
2
Transfer dough to a flat surface; knead 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.
3
Place scallions in a bowl; season with salt and pepper.
4
Turn dough out onto a floured work surface; roll into a thin rectangle using a rolling pin. Spread butter over dough to cover; sprinkle evenly with salt and pepper. Spread scallions over dough, leaving top edge empty. Roll dough up from the opposite edge, keeping scallions in place and pulling dough a little with every roll to make it tight.
5
Cut roll into 3- to 4-inch-long pieces; pinch and seal ends of each piece. Lightly flatten each piece into a circular pancake.
6
Heat oil in a nonstick skillet; cook pancakes until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Crush 2 sides of the pancakes with spoons or ladles until flaky.
