Ingredients (serves 4):
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1/2 cup chopped scallions
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Cooking Tips:
- Use boiling water to make the dough, as it will make the pancakes more tender and easier to roll out.
- Be sure to let the dough rest for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out, as this will make it easier to work with.
- When rolling out the dough, be sure to dust your work surface with flour to prevent sticking.
- Use a non-stick pan or a well-seasoned cast iron skillet to cook the pancakes, as this will prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Cooking Process:
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and boiling water. Mix until a dough forms.
2. 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. Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and roll each piece into a thin circle.
5. Brush each circle with vegetable oil and sprinkle with chopped scallions, salt, and pepper.
6. Roll up each circle into a tight spiral and then flatten it into a pancake.
7. Heat a non-stick pan or a well-seasoned cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.
8. Cook each pancake for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy.
9. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
