Ingredients
- 2 cups Flour
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tbsp Oil
- about 7/8 cup Warm Water
- 1/4 cup Oil
- 3 tbsp Flour
- 1 tsp Salt
- Egg, according to taste
- Green Onion, according to taste
- Salt, according to taste
Method
- Stir the flour, salt and tablespoon of oil together in a bowl, pour in the warm water and mix with chopsticks until flaky, then knead for about 5 minutes into a smooth ball. Cover and rest the dough for 30 minutes.
- For the flour roux, mix the 3 tablespoons of flour with the teaspoon of salt in a bowl, heat the 1/4 cup of oil until hot, pour it over the flour mixture, stir it together and leave it to cool.
- Divide the rested dough into eight pieces. Flatten one piece into a circle, spread about 2 tablespoons of the flour roux in the middle, fold all the corners in and pinch them shut, fold them in again into a ball and pinch it closed. Repeat with the rest and rest the balls smooth side up for 10 minutes.
- For each batch of up to three pancakes, beat 3 eggs with a teaspoon of salt and a bunch of green onion in a container that pours easily, about 1 egg per pancake.
- Roll each rested ball out lightly, keeping the roux sealed inside.
- Heat oil in a pan over medium heat and fry a pancake for 1 to 2 minutes on each side, flipping it every minute, for about 4 to 5 minutes in total, until it puffs up.
- Make a hole in the middle of the puffed pancake with a chopstick, pour in the egg mixture, let it sit for 1 minute, then flip and cook the other side for 1 to 2 minutes until the egg is set.
- Serve the egg-filled pancakes hot, cut or whole, straight from the pan.
