Ingredients

• 2 cups Whole wheat flour
• 0.75 cup Hot water
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 cup Scallions (green onions), finely chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil (for cooking)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, add the whole wheat flour and create a well in the center.

Step 2

Slowly pour the hot water into the well, stirring with a wooden spoon or chopsticks to combine the flour and water. Once the dough begins to come together, knead it by hand on a lightly floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 3

Cover the dough with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 20 minutes.

Step 4

Once rested, divide the dough into four equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.

Step 5

Take one ball of dough and roll it out into a thin circle (approximately 8 inches in diameter). Brush the surface lightly with sesame oil, then sprinkle evenly with chopped scallions and a pinch of salt.

Step 6

Roll the dough circle into a tight log, then coil the log into a spiral shape. Flatten the spiral gently with your palm, then roll it out again into a 7-inch circle. Repeat with the remaining dough balls.

Step 7

Heat 1/2 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place one pancake into the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Add more oil as needed for subsequent pancakes.

Step 8

Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil. Cut into wedges and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
