Chinese Scallion Pancakes

Chinese Scallion Pancakes, named ่‘ฑๆฒน้ฅผ in Chinese, are absolutely a dim sum favorite. They are often sold as street food in China. While at home, Scallion Pancakes are normally served as an appetiser, or side dish. I also love to eat this for breakfast. My version of Scallion Pancakes are super flaky and crispy on the outside, and chewy and soft on the inside. With a balance of salt and pepper flavor, they also make a wonderful snack!

The secret to these flaky Scallion Pancakes is how you work on the dough. It is actually very easy to do with a bit of patience. I love my Pancakes nicely thin but still with several layers inside. Each bite is sensational with that wonderful scallion fragrance. They are also perfect for Chinese New Year. Why not make it for the holiday?

Haini’s Tips

It is important to let the dough rest for a good amount of time. If it is hard to roll out the dough, you can just cover the dough again and let it rest a bit longer. Please watch my video for detailed instructions.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 bunch Green Onions, finely chopped

Dough

  • 1/8 tsp Dried Yeast
  • 200 ml Warm Water
  • 300 g All-purpose Flour
  • 15 ml Vegetable Oil
  • 1 tsp Salt

Oil Mixture

  • 40 g All-purpose Flour
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper
  • 50 g Vegetable Oil

Instructions
 

  • In a measurement cup, mix together Dried Yeast and Warm Water.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add in All-purpose Flour and Salt. Gently mix well. Then gradually pour in the yeast water mixture. Use a spatula to mix well. Then add in the Vegetable Oil. Mix well again.
