Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Skillet
  • Rolling Pin

Ingredients
  

Dough

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup warm water

Filling and Cooking

  • 1/2 cup scallions, chopped
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil for brushing and cooking

Instructions
 

  • Mix the flour, salt, and warm water in a bowl to form a dough. Knead the dough until smooth.
  • Divide the dough into portions. Roll each portion thin. Brush the surface with vegetable oil and sprinkle with chopped scallions.
  • Roll the oiled dough into a tight log. Coil the log into a spiral shape, then flatten it again into a pancake shape.
  • Place the formed pancakes on a tray and freeze them flat until solid.
  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place the frozen pancakes directly into the hot skillet.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat until they are golden brown on both sides and cooked through. This may take longer since they start frozen.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately after cooking.
