Ingredients You Will Need
Here is a clear list of ingredients with simple measurements that anyone can follow.
All purpose flour two cups
Fresh spring onions one cup finely chopped
Salt one teaspoon
Water three quarters cup or as needed
Cooking oil three tablespoons
Sesame oil one teaspoon optional
Garlic powder half teaspoon optional
Black pepper half teaspoon optional
Step by Step Method
Step one start by preparing the spring onions. Wash them well under clean water. Remove any dirt or dry ends. Chop them finely using a knife. Keep them aside in a bowl.
Step two take a large mixing bowl. Add the all purpose flour and salt. Mix them well using a spoon. If you like extra flavor you can also add garlic powder and black pepper at this stage.
Step three slowly add water to the flour mixture. Mix gently with a spoon or your hand. Add water little by little so the dough does not become too sticky. The dough should be soft and smooth.
Step four once the dough comes together place it on a clean surface. Knead it gently for about five minutes. This helps make the dough elastic and easy to roll. Cover the dough with a clean cloth and let it rest for twenty minutes.
Step five after resting divide the dough into four equal parts. Roll each part into a small ball. Keep them covered so they do not dry out.
Step six take one dough ball and flatten it slightly. Use a rolling pin to roll it into a thin circle. Brush a little cooking oil on top of the rolled dough.
Step seven sprinkle chopped spring onions evenly over the dough. Press them lightly so they stick. Roll the dough into a long strip then coil it into a round shape like a spiral.
Step eight flatten the spiral gently with your hand. Roll it again into a flat pancake shape. Do not press too hard. Repeat the same steps for all dough balls.
Step nine heat a pan on medium heat. Add one tablespoon of cooking oil. Place one pancake on the pan carefully.
Step ten cook the pancake until the bottom turns golden brown. Flip it gently and cook the other side. Press lightly with a spatula so it cooks evenly.
Step eleven cook until both sides are crispy and fully cooked inside. Remove from the pan and place on a plate. Cook all pancakes the same way.
Step twelve cut the pancakes into pieces and serve hot. You can enjoy them plain or with your favorite dipping sauce.
