Ingredients
-
1 cup all-purpose flour (gluten-free if needed)

1/2 cup warm water
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
2 tablespoons sesame oil

1 cup chopped scallions (green onions)

Directions
Serve your vegan Chinese-inspired scallion pancakes hot and crispy. They are best enjoyed with soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
These scallion pancakes are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container and reheated in the oven for later use. Feel free to get creative with your favorite dipping sauces or add other seasonings for extra flavor.

Roll up the dough circle into a tight cylinder, like a Swiss roll. Then take one end of the cylinder and curl it into a spiral shape. Flatten the spiral gently with your hand to create a pancake. |
