Ingredients
- ¼tspsalt
- ¾cupwarm water
- 1cupall purpose flour,plus ¼ cup for sprinkling
- 1tbspvegetable oil,plus 1 tbsp for brushing
- 1tbspAsian sesame oil,toasted, or as needed
- ½cupgreen onion,finely chopped
Instructions
-
Dissolve the salt in warm water, and mix in 1 cup of flour to make a soft dough. Turn the dough out onto a well-floured work surface, and knead for about 5 minutes until slightly springy. If the dough is sticky, knead in ¼ teaspoon of vegetable oil.
-
Divide the dough into 8 equal-size pieces, and keep the pieces covered with a cloth.
-
In a bowl, mix the remaining flour with the remaining vegetable oil to make a mixture like fine crumbs.
-
On a floured work surface, roll a piece of dough out into a thin square about 5×7-inch in size, brush the dough with toasted sesame oil, and sprinkle lightly with about 1½ teaspoon of the flour-oil mixture.
-
Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of chopped green onion onto the dough, and spread the onion out evenly.
-
Starting with a long end, roll the dough up into a rope shape, and pinch the seam and the ends closed. Roll the rope shape into a flat spiral, and press lightly with hands to compact the spiral and keep it from unrolling.
-
Place the spiral down onto the floured work surface, and gently roll it out into a pancake with the onions folded inside, turning the pancake over often as it’s rolled out. Roll gently and turn often to avoid making holes in the pancakes.
-
Finished pancakes should be about 5-inch in diameter. Repeat with the rest of the dough pieces, making 8 onion pancakes.
-
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat, and brush with vegetable oil. Pan-fry each pancake in the hot skillet for about 5 minutes per side until golden brown on both sides.
-
Cut into wedges and serve warm. Enjoy!
