Directions

1Add 2 cups of all-purpose flour and 1/2 a teaspoon of salt to a bowl.
2Mix in 1/2 a cup of boiling water until absorbed and shaggy.
3Mix in 1/4 cup of cold water.
4Knead with your hand to form a rough ball once the water has been absorbed.
5Knead on the table for a few more minutes when the ball starts to take shape.
6Cover the dough and let it rest for 20 minutes while prepping the filling.
7Cut the white ends of the green onion for the oil.
8Cut the dark green part of the green onion in half and then into smaller half-moons.
9Add 1/4 cup of grapeseed oil and the ends of the green onions to a pan.
10Cook for about 10 minutes to impart the scallion flavor in the oil.
11Remove the onions and add 1/2 a teaspoon of salt and 1/2 a cup of flour to create a paste.
12Knead the dough for a minute when it has finished resting.
13Work the dough into a log and cut it into six pieces.
14Work with one ball at a time and cover the others so they don't dry out.
15Roll the ball into a rectangle that's about 6x4 inches in size.
16Add some of the scallion oil paste and sprinkle on green onions.
17From the bottom, roll up three to four times, pushing out air bubbles as you go.
18Roll from one side to the other like a snail.
19Use a little paste on the end to help connect the tail.
20Cover this while you work on the remaining dough balls.
21Roll them into pancakes once you have all six.
22To a pan with hot oil, lay in your pancake and give it a swirl so it doesn't stick.
23Cover with a lid and cook for one minute.
24Flip away from you, cover and cook for another minute.
25Continue to flip and press until both sides are perfectly golden brown.
