Onion and Sesame Pancakes are a popular Chinese appetizer that is easy to make and tastes delicious. These pancakes are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with a savory onion flavor and a nutty sesame aroma.

Ingredients (serves 4):
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup warm water
- 1/2 cup chopped green onions
- 1/4 cup sesame seeds
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Cooking Tips:
- Use warm water to make the dough, as it will help the flour to absorb the water better.
- Knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic, which will make the pancakes more tender.
- Use a non-stick pan to cook the pancakes, as it will prevent them from sticking and burning.
Cooking Process:
1. In a large bowl, mix the flour and warm water until a dough forms. Knead the dough for 5-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
2. Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and roll each piece into a ball. Flatten each ball with a rolling pin to form a pancake.
3. Sprinkle each pancake with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, and season with salt and pepper.
4. Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Place the pancake in the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy.
5. Repeat with the remaining pancakes, adding more oil as needed.
