Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • ½ cup warm water

  • 1 teaspoon white sugar

  • 1 teaspoon yeast

  • 2 cups sifted all-purpose flour, divided

  • ½ cup hot water

  • 2 ½ tablespoons vegetable oil, divided, or as needed

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, or as needed

  • 1 cup finely chopped scallions

Directions

  1. Combine warm water, sugar, and yeast in a bowl. Add 1 cup flour; stir dough with a spatula.

  2. Mix the remaining 1 cup flour, hot water, 2 tablespoons oil, and salt together in a separate bowl until dough-like in texture. Add the dough from step 1; knead together into a round ball, dusting with flour as needed. Place dough ball on a lightly floured work surface; cover with a warm, damp towel for 30 to 40 minutes.

  3. Pinch dough ball into 2 pieces. Roll each out and sprinkle half the scallions on top. Roll up each piece into a tube; pinch each in half. Roll and flatten into large pancakes, dusting with flour, if needed.

  4. Heat the remaining oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook pancakes until browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side.

Cook's Note:

Garlic salt may be substituted for regular salt.
