Recipe:
Ingredients
2 cups plain
½ cup boiling water
1 tsp salt
⅓ cup cold water
1 tbsp oil
1 – 1 ½ cups chopped spring onion / scallion (green part only)
Preparation
Put flour and salt into a bowl, mix and create a well in the middle
Add boiling water and let sit for 10 minutes without mixing
After 10 minutes, add the cold water and the oil and just combine all ingredients into a ball, this can be rough looking. Cover with cling film and let rest for 5 minutes.
Now, knead the dough until it is smooth and bounces back when pressed down slightly. Form into a ball, cover with cling film and let rest again, this time for 20 minutes.
When the time is up, take the ball and give it a quick knead. You might have to add a little flour to prevent sticking. Cut into 4 equal parts.
While working with one quarter, keep the others covered to prevent drying out.
Roll the dough into a small ball, flatten and then add oil to both sides of the disc. Then roll out to about 2mm thickness.
Sprinkle about a quarter of the chopped spring onion over the dough, leaving about a cm free all around.
From the end closest to you, roll the disc up into a sausage shape. Then scroll it into a tight snail, press it flat.
Do the same with the rest of the dough, keep covered to prevent drying out. Once done with all dough, let rest for another 10 minutes.
After the final resting, roll the snails out into pancakes, adding a bit of oil if needed.
Heat your frying pan on medium to high heat, add a little oil and then fry the pancake until golden brown on both sides, about 8 minutes total.
Cut the pancake into six wedges each and serve with your favourite chilli oil.
Tips
Keep the cling film to cover the dough throughout the whole process
You can roll out all pancakes before frying. If you do so, keep the pancakes on a plate with baking paper in between them to avoid sticking.
Otherwise, while frying a pancake you can roll out the next one.
