Prep Time 45 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 55 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • 1/4 cup sesame oil
  • 2 cups chopped scallions
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  • In a bowl, mix together flour, salt and sugar.
  • Slowly drizzle in boiling hot water into flour mixture and mix together.
  • Knead dough for 10 minutes and cover with a moist dish towel for 30 minutes.
  • Divide dough into four equal balls.
  • Flatten out dough balls to form an 8 inch circle.
  • Drizzle sesame oil and scatter scallions generously (about 1/4 cup per pancake) on the flattened dough.
  • Tightly roll up circle with scallions on the inside.
  • Coil the dough roll into a pinwheel. Flatten out the pinwheel and repeat steps 5-8 another two times. Repeating these steps creates those flaky layers!
