Steps for making Scallion Pancake

Mix all the main ingredients and knead into a smooth and appropriate dough. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rest for 5 minutes.

Roll it into a large rectangular piece, brush with oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Cut four slits symmetrically on both long sides.

Fold it up as shown in the picture.

All folded up.

Roll it out with a rolling pin. Spray a layer of water, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and then gently roll it again to press the sesame seeds.

Put it in a steaming tray and let it ferment until it doubles in size.

Put the fermented dough in cold water and steam it over medium-low heat for about 20 minutes. (After steaming, to avoid thermal expansion and contraction, first open the lid slightly for a small slit, and then completely open it after 5 minutes to remove it.)

Put a little oil in a flat-bottomed pan or electric pancake maker, and fry the steamed scallion pancake until both sides are golden brown.

Serve sliced.
