Green Onion Pancakes

Directions

1. For the pancakes, combine the flour and salt in a large bowl and make a well in the centre. Pour in the boiling water and stir with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and allow it to cool slightly. Knead the dough until smooth, about 2 minutes, adding more flour if needed. Cover with a clean kitchen towel to rest for 30 minutes.
2. Place a stainless steel or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly dust a work surface with flour. Cut the dough into 16 equal pieces, cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep moist.
3. Slightly flatten a piece of dough into an oval approximately 10cm x 5cm (about 4 x 2-inches) and scatter about a teaspoon of green onions to cover the surface. Roll dough up starting at one long side to form a tight cylinder. Coil the cylinder into a tight spiral, resembling something like a tiny cinnamon bun and gently press dough in your hand again to form a small disc. Return the now green onion-filled dough under the towel to rest, while you prepare the other pieces in the same way.
4. Roll out a disc into a very thin circle on the floured work surface, approximately 12 to 14 cm (5 to 6-inch) round. Lightly oil both sides with sesame oil.
5. Add to the heated pan and cook for about 30 seconds per side. Transfer to a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm while you continue to roll and cook the remaining pancakes. Enjoy!
