3Mix in cold water.
4Begin kneading with your hand to form a rough ball.
5Knead on the table for a few more minutes.
6Cover the dough and let it rest for 20 minutes.
7Cut the white ends of the green onion.
8Cut the dark green part of the green onion in half and then into smaller half moons.
9Add grapeseed oil to a pan.
10Add the ends of the green onion to the pan with oil.
11Cook for about 10 minutes to impart the scallion flavor in the oil.
12Remove the onions and add half a teaspoon of salt and half a cup of flour to create a paste.
13Knead the dough for a minute and then work it into a log.
14Cut the log into six pieces.
15Roll the dough ball into a rectangle that's about 6 by 4 inches in size.
16Add some of the scallion oil paste.
17Sprinkle on your green onions.
18From the bottom, roll up three to four times, pushing out air bubbles as you go.
19Roll from one side to the other like a snail.
20Use a little paste on the end to help connect the tail.
21Cover this while you work on the remaining dough balls.
22Roll them into pancakes.
23Lay the pancake in a pan with hot oil.
24Give the pancake a swirl so it doesn't stick.
25Cover with a lid and cook for 1 minute.
26Flip the pancake away from you and cover and cook for another minute.
27Continue to flip and press until both sides are perfectly golden brown.
