Scallion Pancakes
"Crispy, flaky, savory pancakes loaded with green onions — Costco China sells them ready-to-fry and they're addictive. Make your own with flour, oil, and scallions. That's really it."

The Game Plan
-
Mix flour and salt in a bowl. Pour in boiling water and stir with chopsticks or a fork until a shaggy dough forms. Knead 5 minutes until smooth. Cover and rest 30 minutes.
-
Divide dough into 4 pieces. Roll each piece into a thin circle (about 10 inches).
-
Brush the surface with sesame oil. Scatter sliced scallions generously across.
-
Roll up tightly into a log, then coil the log into a spiral. Flatten with your palm, then roll out again into a circle (about 7-8 inches). The layers create the flakiness.
-
Heat 2-3 tablespoons vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry each pancake 2-3 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
-
Drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with flaky salt. Cut into wedges.
-
Mix dipping sauce ingredients and serve alongside.
