Ingredients

  • 1 bunch scallions 8 stalks
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons oil
  • 4 cups gluten free all purpose flour approximately 1 pound
  • 2 cups hot water
  • additional oil for frying

Instructions

  • Wash, trim, and chop scallions and place in a medium bowl
  • Add salt and set aside for 5 minutes.
  • Add gluten free flour to a large bowl and form a well.
  • Add hot water to the flour and mix with a spatula until the flour is moistened.
  • Preheat a frying pan on medium-high.
  • Add 2 teaspoons of oil to the green onion mixture, mix, and add green onion mixture to the dough.
  • Knead the dough until the mixture comes together (about 6-8 times, just enough to distribute the onions and for the dough to stick together).
  • Divide the dough into 6 pieces (tennis ball sized), shape each piece into a disk, and use a rolling pin to roll into a circle (about 6 inches in diameter, 3/8 inch thick). (Optional step: use your fingers to smooth out the edges for a beautiful presentation, skip this step if you are like me, in a hurry and feeding a hungry family.)
  • Add 1 teaspoon of oil to the hot frying pan and swirl to coat.
  • Fry the pancake for 3 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown.
  • Add a little more oil if the pan is dry and flip, frying for another 3 minutes until golden brown.
  • Repeat until all the pancake dough is shaped and fried.
  • Cut into wedges and serve.
