For extra flavor, consider adding a touch of sesame oil to the scallion mixture. If you don't have time to make the dough from scratch, you can use store-bought pizza dough or dumpling wrappers as a shortcut. Serve the pancakes immediately for the best texture. They are delicious on their own or with a dipping sauce such as soy sauce, black vinegar, or chili oil.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a large bowl, combine the flour. Gradually add the hot water, mixing continuously. Then, add the cold water and mix until a shaggy dough forms and no dry spots remain. (5 minutes)
02
StepTransfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead gently until it forms a smooth ball. Place the dough in a lightly oiled resealable plastic bag, seal, and let it rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours. This allows the gluten to relax, resulting in a more tender pancake. (30 minutes resting)
03
StepWhile the dough rests, prepare the scallion mixture. In a small bowl, combine the chopped scallions with a generous pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper. Set aside. (5 minutes)
04
StepOn a lightly floured surface, roll the rested dough into a thin rectangle, approximately 12x18 inches. Spread the softened butter evenly over the entire surface of the dough. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Distribute the scallion mixture evenly over the buttered dough, leaving a 1-inch strip clear along one of the long edges. (10 minutes)
05
StepStarting from the long edge opposite the clear strip, tightly roll the dough up like a jelly roll, ensuring the scallions stay in place. Gently stretch the dough as you roll to create tight layers. Once rolled, pinch the seam to seal. (5 minutes)
06
StepUsing a sharp knife, cut the roll into 3- to 4-inch-long pieces. Pinch and seal the cut ends of each piece to prevent the filling from escaping. Lightly flatten each piece into a circular pancake, about 1/4-inch thick. (10 minutes)
07
StepHeat the vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook the pancakes until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. To encourage flaky layers, gently press down on the pancakes with a spatula while cooking. (8-10 minutes)
