FAQS

  1. Can I use other types of flour instead of all-purpose flour?

    Yes, you can experiment with other types of flour, such as whole wheat or gluten-free flour, but the texture and flavor may vary.

  2. How long can I store the scallion pancakes in the freezer?

    You can store the scallion pancakes in the freezer for up to 2 months. Make sure to place parchment paper between each pancake to prevent them from sticking together.

  3. What can I serve with scallion pancakes?

    Scallion pancakes are delicious on their own, but you can serve them with soy sauce, vinegar, or a spicy dipping sauce for added flavor.

  4. Can I add other ingredients to the filling?

    Absolutely! You can add ingredients like shredded carrots, chopped cilantro, or even cooked meats to the filling for extra flavor and texture.

  5. What is the purpose of letting the dough rest?

    Letting the dough rest allows the gluten to relax, making it easier to roll out and resulting in a flakier texture in the final pancakes.
