These crispy, flaky scallion pancakes are easy to make and perfect for breakfast. With a delightful blend of flavors and textures, they are a popular choice in Chinese cuisine and can be enjoyed with soy sauce or a spicy dipping sauce.
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt.
Pour the boiling water into the flour, stirring with a fork until a shaggy dough forms.
Add the cold water gradually while mixing until the dough comes together. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.
After resting, divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a thin circle (about 8 inches in diameter) on a floured surface.
Brush a thin layer of vegetable oil over the surface of each dough circle. Sprinkle a quarter of the chopped scallions evenly on top.
Starting from one edge, roll the dough tightly into a log, then coil the log into a spiral shape. Flatten gently with your palm, then roll out again into a 1/4 inch thick circle.
Heat a nons-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Once hot, place one pancake in the skillet.
Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy, adding more oil if necessary. Repeat with the remaining dough portions.
Slice the pancakes into wedges and serve hot with soy sauce and sesame oil for dipping.
