     Title: Scallion Pancakes
Categories: Chinese, Pancakes, Onions, Loo
     Yield: 6 servings

     1 c  Flour
   1/3 c  Water; boiling hot
     2 tb Scallion greens; minced
     2 ts Lard or Crisco
   1/2 ts Salt
     4 tb Oil

 Mix flour and water. Add a little more flour or a little cold
 water if dough is not the right consistency. Knead until smooth.
 Let rest 15 minutes. Roll dough into a cylinder and divide into
 6 pieces.

 Flatten each piece into a 4" circle. Brush with softened fat and
 sprinkle with salt and scallions. Roll each pancake into a long
 thin spiral and flatten it. Fold this spiral into a square and
 flatten again. Roll into a short fat spiral and flatten this to a
 4" circle.

 Heat 3 tb oil and fry each piece until golden (flip once to cook
 both sides). Add a teaspoon of oil or so between pancakes if the
 oil is too depleted.

 Adapted from Wei-Chuan, Chinese Snacks, to the way I do it; but I
 do less flattening and rolling.
