How to make Scallion Pancakes
Prepare the Dough
Mix the dough ingredients together to form a smooth dough ball.
Cover the dough and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Prepare the Filling
In a bowl, combine the scallions, flour, salt, five spice, sesame oil, and white pepper.
Heat the neutral oil until it is really hot, then add it to the scallion mixture.
Mix and set aside.
Assemble the Pancakes
Cut the dough into 6 balls and roll each ball out into a rectangle.
Brush the filling onto the rolled-out dough, then roll it up.
Roll the dough into a snail shape, then push down to create flaky layers.
Freeze the Pancakes
Place the pancakes in a ziplock bag with layers of parchment paper in between them to freeze.

FAQS
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
