Ingredients

Prep time includes the resting the batter time...do note...

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

3/4 cup self rising flour

1 cup boiling water

2 teaspoons Asian sesame oil

2 spring onions (scallions, green onions), washed and thinly diced (or as you like)

a bit of oil to brush on pancakes

a bit of salt to sprinkle on pancakes during frying

Directions

Combine the 2 flours in a large bowl. Stir in the vegetable oil.

Pour in half the boiling water into the flour and begin stirring immediately, then use your hands to combine into a dough.

Add the remaining boiling water as needed. Cover the dough and let it rest for 2 hours.

While the dough is resting, wash and dice the spring onions.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface.

Knead briefly, then cut into thirds and continue kneading until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Roll each of the three sections of dough out into a flat piece approximately 1/2 cm or 1/4 inch thick. (If desired, you can make a thinner pancake, about 1/8 inch thick)

Brush the pancake with a bit of oil, and sprinkle with spring onion pieces. Roll up the pancake and cut into 7 - 8 pieces.

Use the palm of your hand to flatten each piece. Roll out again.

Heat a bit of oil in a large skillet.

Shallow fry the pancakes until both sides are golden brown, being sure to sprinkle with a bit of salt during frying.

While cooking, press down on the center with a spatula to make sure the pancake cooks.

Serve whole or cut into wedges. Serve plain or with soy sauce or another dipping sauce if desired.
