Cong You Bing (Chinese Scallion Pancakes)

An easy and most delicious breakfast, brunch, or snack. This is a kid-friendly meal your family will love, too. My 6-year-old will vouch for me. Make this special by using organic flour, organic green onions, sea salt, and filtered water.

Step: 1

Combine flour, water, 1 teaspoon oil, and salt in a large bowl. Knead until well combined. Cover and set aside until dough is soft but not wet and sticky, 10 to 15 minutes. Add more flour if needed.

Step: 2

Divide dough into 8 pieces. Roll each piece into an 8-inch-long strip about 2 inches thick.

Step: 3

Sprinkle the dough with green onions and sesame oil. Roll each strip into a spiral, pinching the end to prevent unrolling.

Step: 4

Flatten each spiral with a rolling pin to create a disk-shaped pancake about 5 inches wide.

Step: 5

Heat 1/2 tablespoon oil in a pan over medium-low heat. Fry each scallion pancake until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side.

The best flavour of the flour can make a real deal to your bread. Different brands do vary. Extra-strong or Canadian flours, which are bet higher in gluten, may give you a best rise than standard bread flours – especially if you’re make wholemeal bread , which not always rise as well as white bread.

To made this in a dough , add all the menus to your breadmaker and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

A dough’s first rising can be make in the fridge 24 hours . This slows down the time it takes to rise to double its size, giving it a deeper flavour. It’s also a great timesaver , as you can start it night before , then clear it off the next day.
