How to Make Scallion Pancakes: Soft and Layered Dough

Hello, everyone,I am a senior foodie who loves to make food, this year I am exactly 69 years old, I started learning to make food last year, I think it's really not easy, but I also hope to share my cooking experience with you all, let's progress together. It's been a long time since I had pancakes, today I'm making scallion pancakes with scallion oil. Pancakes are a food that many people make frequently, and this pancake also has many different ways to make, oil pancakes, oil dough pancakes, spring pancakes, and filled pancakes. Each type of pancake has different methods and techniques, today let's talk about scallion pancakes.

So, the first step is crucial, from making dough to proofing and baking, the whole process needs to be mastered to make soft and layered scallion pancakes that don't harden even when cold. Below, Rain Rainbow will introduce the detailed method of making scallion pancakes. Make sure you can succeed once, even if you are a beginner, you can make it successfully. No more talking and no more nonsense, now let's introduce my method.

Ingredients: 300g flour, 2g salt, 1 small bunch of scallions, 20ml edible oil.

Steps:

1Making the dough is very important, no matter whether you use cold water to make dough or half-stiff dough, the dough must be made soft. Put 300g flour and 2g salt in a large bowl, increasing the gluten of the dough. Today I use warm water to make dough, 280ml water, the water temperature should not be too hot. The amount of water depends on the absorption capacity of the flour at home. When making dough, pour water while stirring, stir until a little flour is not dry, and all appear in a waxy state. Then add a little oil, so that the dough is more soft. Then knead into a slightly soft and smooth dough ball.

2Proofing the dough is also a crucial step, the softer the dough is proofed, the softer the pancake will be. Cover the kneaded dough with plastic wrap and proof for 30 minutes. Proofing the dough makes the dough soft, firstly it's easy to operate, secondly the pancake made is softer.

3During this time, let's prepare some scallion flowers, clean the scallions and cut them into scallion threads and put them in a bowl for later use.

4After proofing the dough, spread a little oil on the working surface to prevent sticking, knead the dough lightly, because the proofing dough must be very soft, then shape it into a long strip. Cut it into equal pieces, then arrange the pieces into circles.

5Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough into thin pancakes, use a small brush to evenly brush a layer of oil on the thin pancake, then sprinkle with scallion flowers. Then roll it into a small long strip from one side, hold both hands to pinch the two ends slightly, then roll it from one end into a circle. Use a rolling pin to roll it into a thin pancake, about two centimeters thick. This is a scallion pancake that can be baked.

6Finally, baking the pancake is the key step, both oil pancakes and thin pancakes should be baked over medium heat. Don't use small fire, don't use the biggest fire. If the fire is too big, the pancake is easy to burn, if the fire is too small, the pancake will harden. Heat the pot and add a little oil over medium heat, put the pancake into the pot.

7Bake for about a minute, the bottom of the pancake is slightly yellow, turn over, bake for about a minute, turn over again. Today's pancake is very thin, it's flipped three times, when the pancake rises, that's fine.

8The pancakes are now baked until both sides are slightly yellow, all puffed up, take it out of the pot, place it on a plate, scallion pancakes are baked! Today's pancakes are very soft and layered, take a bite, and you'll smell the strong scallion aroma, which is really delicious.

Scallion Pancake Tips:

1The dough used to make pancakes must be made soft, to make soft pancakes.

2The dough must be proofed well, making the dough very soft.

3When baking, use medium heat, if the fire is too small, the pancake will harden.
