Chinese Pancakes

Chinese Pancakes

Love these!  Learned how to make them in Taiwan and they never disappoint.  There are some blogs out there that have pictures that show how to roll them up, if you need.  (:

Prep: 20-30 min Cook: 15 min

Serves 6-8 (2 per pancake)

Ingredients

2 C flour

¾ C hot water (approx.)

1 T salt

1 bunch of green onions

Vegetable oil

Directions

·        1.  Mix flour and 1 teaspoon salt together in a large bowl

·        2.  Pour in hot water and quickly mix together until water is absorbed.

·        3.  Add more water (cold is fine), about 1 tablespoon at a time, into flour mixture just until dough forms

·        4.  Knead dough for a couple minutes, until smooth and somewhat firm (add flour if it is too watery)

·         5. Divide into 3 or 4 equal pieces

·         6. Roll 1 piece of dough into a large thin round.  Brush the top with vegetable oil and sprinkle with about 1/2 teaspoon salt and some green onions

·        7.  Pick up 1 end of the round and roll dough around green onions into a long scroll-shape

·         8. Periodically, pat the roll from the middle to the end to get rid of any air on the inside

·         9. Take 1 scroll end and roll dough into a disk. Repeat with remaining dough

·         9. Heat about 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat.

·         10. Place 1 disk on a floured surface and roll into a 1/2-inch thick round

·         11. Cook in the hot oil until golden brown (2 to 3 minutes per side)

·         12. Repeat with remaining disks.
