Flaky Scallion Pancakes

Directions

• Place flour in electric dough mixer. While mixer is on, slowly pour in boiling water until flour comes together and forms a dough.
• Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.
• Divide dough into 4 parts. Roll one part into a round ball and then using a rolling pin, roll out the dough into an 6 inch pancake. Brush the dough with sesame oil and then roll it up into a jelly roll.
• Twist the jelly roll into a tight spiral and tuck the end underneath. Using the rolling pin again, flatten the spiral into a 6 inch pancake again.
• Brush the dough with sesame oil again and then sprinkle scallions on top. Re-roll the circle into a jelly roll and then into a tight spiral again. Using the rolling pin, flatten the spiral into a 6 inch pancake again. You will see that the scallions are now inside the circle.
• Repeat steps 4-6 again for the remaining 3 parts.
• Heat a non-stick skillet to a medium heat with sesame oil and then carefully place a pancake in the oil. Fry each side using tongs to flip until you achieve a golden brown color. Sprinkle with salt and then place on a paper towel to absorb any excess oil. Cut and serve.
