I Made Flaky Scallion Pancakes From Scratch

[@cherrybomb6852]

Hey, just wanted to let you know that I made these yesterday and my boyfriend told me, "These are some of the best scallion pancakes I've ever had." He's been having a rough time, so thanks for helping me cheer him up :)

ingredients in metric: dough: 310 g flour 120 ml/g hot water 60 ml/g room temp water 12.5 g sugar 5-6 g salt roux: 50:50 by volume flour to oil with 60 g of flour and 120 ml oil

[@stillportra]

very helpful 👍🏻

[@jevicanjincruel123]

@Thukfudo Thanks so much for this! Just want to point out that the roux should be equal parts flour and oil (60 g flour + 60 ml oil). :)

[@af.flo_]

Thank you!!

[@Thukfudo]

@@jevicanjincruel123 it's equal parts by volume not weight, flour has a lower density so half a cup is only only 60g of flour and it has a volume of 120ml. But in this case it easier just to get a random small cup and fill it wir oil once and once with flour.

I’ve been using your video for years when I forget a step. The online recipes aren’t as helpful as your vid. Thanks so much! These are one of my go to staples because no matter how high goods inflate, green onions flour and water will always be cheap! I use lard instead of veggie oil, I feel like the flakiness is even more and the flavor gets a good punch!

[@selenachan4230]

Lard gives a flaky crust. Crisco is awesome for pie crust

With the scallion “butts” you can plant them and they grow right up! We planted ours so we don’t need to buy more during quarantine!

Do you need to start them in water or just plant them in soil? This would be fun to try 😊

[@DanielSosnoski]

I made these this evening. Following the instructions to the letter, including making the roux, and they came out perfect, more flaky and crispy than any other recipe I've tried. I put chili crisp on them and they were delicious. I halved the ingredients and it made three pancakes. Took 5 scallions to cover them fully. Will make these again!

[@alexshu5269]

I just made this and they came out great! Listen to Inga, the trick to the super flakey pancakes is using the roux and making sure you are rolling out the dough super thin you should be able to see through it before putting your green onions on. Then rolling it thin again before frying. Love the little squishing of the pancake trick to make it floofy. So flakey, crisp and chewy. Yum!

[@slalomie]

Inga I just made these today! They’re delicious and not too difficult to make. My mom really liked them too. Here’s a tip - don’t worry too much if the dough tears or falls apart a bit during the final rolling or even when it first hits the pan. Just use your spatula to press down on the dough to shape it and flatten it out and it should be just fine. Also, sprinkle some toasted sesame seeds on top for your final roll! Trust me, it’s delicious 🤤

[@sconet7634]

I tried this today, and it WORKED!!! The green onion pancakes are so flaky and yet still QQ on the inside. SOOOO delicious! Thanks Inga!

[@GraceLieu]

I tried these today, and they were DELICIOUS!! I've always bought frozen scallion pancakes, but homemade was SO much better!! I didn't add the five spice power because I thought it was good without it. Definitely recommend others to try this recipe! Definitely will make these again.

[@GoneWithTheWind487]

What I like to do when I make this is I like to make a onion ginger oil sauce (葱姜蓉油). Usually it is used for Cantonese water boiled chicken. I personally like dipping the onion pancakes in it. Here is the recipe: 1/2 cup of oil 1 to 2 tablespoons of onion 1 tablespoon of ginger some salt and sugar First use a food processor and grind up the onions and ginger Then heat up the oil Then pour the hot oil into the onions and ginger Finally put some salt and sugar to taste Enjoy!

[@aerianaeve]

I just made these- they are fantastic. Really crispy and flaky on the outside, with just a little chew in the middle. The dough seemed really dry at first, but it incorporated eventually. I only had 8 stems of green onion, so it wasn't as saturated as Inga's, but it still came out delicious. My roux was also darker than I expected and smelled nutty, but it turned out fine. It was lumpy at first but then whisked back smooth. I will definitely make this again! Thanks Inga!

[@fanntarded]

Did you use all purpose flour for the dough?

[@navyamittal]

omg inga thank you for this recipe, it turned out SO good!! it took me like 3 hours to make them 😂 but all the effort was worth it because these scallion pancakes were the most flaky, crispy, and chewy i’ve ever had (they tasted like restaurant ones honestly)! it was scallion heaven ahahha. since i’m vegan these were a life saver! tyyy 💕

Oh boy. I tried these yesterday and it is really delicious! I even modified this by using other veggies - some carrota, bell pepler, scallions, white onions and a bit of garlic - just cook them lighty (sauté the onion, garlic add the rest) till they are half cooked - then mix in with the dough and roux .

Hello, I'm from Belgium and I wisdh to clarify something. A "ROUX" as we do in Belgium and in France is based on : on the stove medium heat, put butter and make it melt then add flour (out of the stove) so a yellowish paste and then (back on the stove) add the cow's milk to the consistency you want. the more milk you add, the more it become a "BECHAMEL" and it is the base "CHICON AU GRATIN" for exemple or "CHOUX FLEUR GRATINé" I will very soon try your recipe, thanks for your share ^^

[@annieliu128]

The recipe is absolutely amazing!! I made this 3 times since this video came out. A few suggestions to making this even tastier: for the roux, use flour, corn oil, salt, white pepper, black pepper (a lot, like 1 tbsp), and five spice oil. Don’t worry about the pepper, it doesn’t make the pancake spicy at all. After you take it off the heat, add sesame oil and toasted white sesame. This will add so much more flavor. I also suggest to only put half the amount of sugar in the dough and double the salt. It was a big sugary for my taste. I also didn’t put the five spice powder into the dough, but just in the roux.
