Crispy and Flaky Vegan Scallion Pancakes
Ingredients
- 300g all purpose flour
- 3/4 cup water (1/2 hot boiling water + 1/3 cold water)
- 2 tbsp cooking oil
- 2 cups of chopped scallion (green part only)
- 1/2 tsp. salt
Preparation
Mix the salt with the flour in a big bowl. Then make a hole in the middle and slowly add in the hot water. Wait for 10 mins without mixing.
Now add in the cold water and 1 tbsp oil.
Bring it all together into a ball. Use chopsticks or a fork for this stage. Cover with a damp cloth and rest for 5 mins and then knead it until smooth.
Cover again and rest for 30 mins.
Divide the dough into 4 pieces. For each piece, roll it out into a circle, then brush with some oil and sprinkle the spring onions. Roll the circle into a cylinder and then roll the cylinder again into a snail like shape.
Repeat with each dough ball and then set them to rest again for 15 mins, covered by a damp cloth.
Then roll out each one into a bigger circle.
Heat some oil in a pan and fry the pancake for 2 to 3 mins or till golden brown on each side. Press down the centre with a spatula to make sure it is properly cooked.
Serve with a dipping sauce of your choice.
Tips
If the dough is sticking a lot to your hands or the rolling pin, gently oil your hands and the rolling board to make it easier to handle.
