Green Onion Pancakes

[nwhiker]

May as well put the recipe here. My brother gave me the initial recipe, and I've modified it somewhat. They're quite simple, and can be reheated. I've added spices to the dough at the thought struck, but in the end simpler was better. Also, the thinning you roll, the more flaky the pancake, since this is just a very simple puff pastry type dough.

Green Onion Pancakes

3 cups flour
1 cup boiling water
1/3 cup cold water
Veggie oil (a few tablespoons?)
Chopped green onions (about 1/3 cup?)
Kosher salt.

Mix flour and boiling water. Let rest about 5 minutes

Add cold water, knead until silky, and let rest 15 minutes.

Divide dough into 4-8 balls. I usually do 6.

Take one dough ball, roll it out to a circle, brush some oil on top, sprinkle with green onions and salt.

Roll like a jelly roll, then coil it, ie flat round snake with stuff inside then snake coiled up. (I should take photos next time I make these).

Next roll the coiled snake flat until it's about 1/2cm or 1/4in thick.

Fry in an oiled frying pan until crispy. More oil might be needed as you flip them.

I tend to store them in the oven at 200F while I do the others.

Serve with soy sauce, or dipping sauce.

The dipping sauce I make has soy sauce, sesame oil, hot oil, crushed garlic, grated ginger, stuff like that.
