Ingredients (serves 4):

- 2 cups all-purpose flour

- 1/2 cup cold water
- 1/4 cup chopped scallions
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs (such as cilantro, parsley, or basil)
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- Salt and pepper to taste

Cooking Tips:

- Use boiling water to make the dough more pliable and easier to work with.
- Be sure to let the dough rest for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out.
- Use a non-stick pan or a well-seasoned cast iron skillet to prevent sticking.

Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and boiling water. Mix well until a dough forms.
2. Add the cold water and knead the dough for 5-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
3. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
4. In a separate bowl, mix together the scallions, herbs, vegetable oil, salt, and pepper.
5. Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and roll each piece into a thin circle.
6. Spread a thin layer of the herb mixture over each circle of dough.
7. Roll up the dough tightly, like a jelly roll, and then coil it into a spiral.
8. Flatten the spiral with your hand and then roll it out again into a thin circle.
9. Heat a non-stick pan or a well-seasoned cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.
10. Cook each pancake for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy.
11. Serve hot and enjoy!
