2 cup all purpose flour
2/3 cup water
2 tsp. salt
1/4 cup shortening
4-6 stalks finely chopped scallion
8 tsp. vegetable oil
Put the flour into a large bowl and make a well in the center of the
flour. Gradually add the water, and with your fingers stir to combine to
make a soft but not sticky dough. (If it is too dry, add more water.)
Knead it until it feels smooth. Put the dough back into the bowl and
cover with a damp cloth. Let the dough stand for about 15 minutes. Turn
dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead again for 2 minutes.
Divide the dough into 4 parts. Roll out one at a time into a rectangle
about 10 x 6 x 1/8 inch thick. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon salt on the dough,
and with a rolling pin, roll over the slated dough once. Spread 1
tablespoon shortening and sprinkle 6 teaspoons scallion evenly on the
dough. From the long end roll the dough loosely into 10 inch sausage-like
shape and pinch the ends underneath. Gently press with your hand and roll
flat with a rolling pin into a pancake, about 1/4 inch thick and 6 inches
in diameter. Cover with a dry cloth. Repeat procedure with the other 3
pieces of dough. Heat a frying pan. Add 2 teaspoons vegetable oil and fry
1 pancake at a time. Fry each side over medium heat for about 5 minutes
with cover on or until both sides are browned and crisp. Shake the pan
several times during cooking. Cut each pancake into 4 pieces and serve
hot. Makes 4 pancakes.
NOTE: The pancakes can be reheated in 450 degree oven for about 5
minutes.
