Scallion Pancakes

• 2 cups all purpose flour (I use ½ white wheat and ½ regular flour)
• 1 cup boiling water
• 1/2 cup thinly sliced scallions, white and light green parts only
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1/2 cup canola oil
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• Ginger Dipping Sauce

1. Use a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Put the 2 cups of flour in the bowl and pulse to aerate the flour. With the motor running, slowly add the boiling water until the dough forms a ball. Let the dough rest for 30 minutes covered damp cloth.
2. Meanwhile mix the sesame oil and canola oil together in a small bowl and make the dipping sauce (recipe to follow)
3. On a clean and floured surface, roll out the dough into a thin rectangle. Brush on the oil mixture and sprinkle on the sliced scallions then season with salt and pepper. Start at one end and roll the dough up into a log. Cut the log into 4 pieces. Take each piece and roll it like you are making a play dough snake. Take the “snake” and make a concentric circle.Using the rolling pin flatten the circle into a pancake about 6 inches in diameter.
4. Heat a non-stick pan coated with canola oil. One at a time sear both sides of eat pancake until they are golden brown. Cut the pancakes into wedges and serve with the ginger dipping sauce.
