Simple Scallion Pancakes

Yield
makes 3 pancakes

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ c flour
  • ¾ c water
  • about 1 T vegetable oil, plus 3 T for frying
  • 1 T salt (and pepper)
  • 1/3 c thinly sliced scallion

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a medium bowl, combine the flour and water. Stir well to mix it up and turn it into a soft dough.

  2. 2

    Lightly flour a work surface and your hands, and then scrape the dough out onto the floured work surface. Knead the dough for 5 minutes, turning and pressing to form it into a soft, smooth dough. Cover the dough with the bowl for a 5-minute rest.

  3. 3

    Divide the dough into 3 portions, cutting it apart with a butter knife or pastry scraper. Leaving the other two portions covered while you work, place one portion on the floured work surface, and roll it out into a big, round pancake, 6-8" in diameter.

  4. 4

    Use about 1 t. of the oil to lightly and evenly coat the surface of the pancake. Sprinkle it with 1 t. of the salt (and pepper) and then scatter about 1/3 of the scallion over the pancake.
