INGREDIENTS - 3/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup hot water
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 3 sprigs of scallion
- salt
Add flour into a large mixing bowl.
Gradually pour in the hot water as you mix, and then add the cold water.
Use your hands to bring it all together to form a dough.
It should look like this.
Place the dough in an oiled bag and allow it to rest for 30 minutes.
Chop the scallions and place it in a bowl, along with a bit of salt and mix.
After the dough has rested for 30 minutes, remove it from the bag and place it on a floured surface. Roll the dough out into a large rectangle and spread the olive oil over the entire surface. Sprinkle salt and add the green onions over top in a single layer.
Roll the dough into a long cylinder.
Pinch the ends of the dough to seal it. Divide the dough into four pieces by pinching the ends to seal it. Place the dough in your palm, so that the ends are facing vertically and flatten it with the palm of your other hand.
Place the dough on the table and roll it out a bit more, so you have small pancakes.
Pan fry the dough over medium heat.
Make sure to push the pancakes inwards using a ladle and a spatula to form breaks so that the layers are revealed and separated.
Serve immediately, while it is still hot.
It did not come out as flaky as I would have liked, but that is expected since I had used oil. The original recipe calls for the use of lard, which I did not readily have. I'll have to try to make it again with lard next time.

MMM so crispy and flakey.
Wow, these look delicious, even though they are a bit thicker than I like. I've tried to make them once, it didn't go very well. You really do have to add a lot of oil to make sure it comes out flaky. I was skimping on the oil because I thought it was way too much. Still tasted good, but not that flaky.
Ooooooh yes yes yes! Thanks for the post :)
