Scallion Pancakes

---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.02

Title: SCALLION PANCAKES
Categories: Chinese, Breads, 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 min. 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 T 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.
