Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Stir the flour and salt together in a large mixing bowl.

  2. Add the sesame oil and hot water. Stir everything together to form a shaggy dough.

  3. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured work surface and knead it until smooth, 3 to 4 minutes.

  4. Roll the dough into a ball. Generously rub the dough with a tablespoon or two of oil and transfer it to a clean bowl. Cover the dough with a damp towel and let it rest for 30 minutes.

  5. While the dough rests, make the sauce by stirring all ingredients together in a small bowl.

  6. After the dough has rested, cut it into 4 equal portions. Remove one portion of dough from the bowl and recover the rest.

  7. Place the dough portion on a lightly floured work surface and use a rolling pin to roll it into a an approximately 6-inch circle.

  8. Lightly brush the dough with oil and sprinkle it with a quarter of the scallions.

  9. Roll the dough tightly into a long snake, enclosing the scallions within. Coil the snake into a circle.

  10. Use your rolling pin to roll the coil into a thin 7 to 8 inch circle.

  11. Cover the dough circle with a damp towel, then repeat the process for the remaining dough portions. Stack the finished dough circles with paper towels in between and cover them with a damp towel.

  12. Generously coat the bottom of a medium skillet with about 2 to 3 tablespoons of oil and place it over medium heat.

Yum - crispy and flaky. Really enjoyed these and were so simple to make. Thanks

Angie ★ 2.0/5

Sorry, I usually love your recipes, but these were dense and chewy, rather than light and flaky. Maybe if you brushed the circle of dough with oil before making your snake like I have seen in other recipes would give some definition between the layers in the finished pancake. I liked the idea of the veggies inside. I'll have to wait until the stores open up and get more spring onions to try again .

Savory pancakes are so wonderful! I love all the veggies you packed in there - I never would've thought to add broccoli to a pancake, and it sounds marvelous! So creative and tasty!
