Ingredients (serves 4):

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1/2 cup chopped scallions

Cooking Tips:

- Use boiling water to make the dough as it helps to create a soft and pliable texture.
- Knead the dough for at least 5 minutes to ensure it is smooth and elastic.
- Let the dough rest for at least 30 minutes to allow the gluten to relax and make it easier to roll out.
- Use a non-stick pan or a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet to cook the pancakes.

Cooking Process:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Gradually add the boiling water and stir until a dough forms.
2. Knead the dough for 5 minutes until it is smooth and elastic. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
3. Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a thin circle.
4. Brush each circle with vegetable oil and sprinkle with chopped scallions.
5. Roll up each circle into a tight spiral and then flatten it into a pancake.
6. Heat a non-stick pan or a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each pancake for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
7. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
