Green Onion Pancakes

Ingredients
3 cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
6 green onions, finely sliced
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus extra for frying
1 tablespoons sesame oil
1 cup water

Instructions
1. Mix the dry ingredients together in large bowl, except for 1 cup of the flour. Add wet ingredients and mix. 

2. Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Add some or all of remaining flour if needed.  (I needed to add all of the remaining flour.)

3. Let the dough rest for 30 minutes, covered with plastic wrap, then divide the dough into 12 pieces.

4. Form each piece into a ball, then flatten it and roll it out with a rolling pin on a lightly floured surface. Each dough piece should make an 6 to 8-inch circle when flat.

5. Heat oil in skillet over high heat.  Fry each pancake for a minute or two per side until cooked through.  (You could also grill them if you’d like.) 

6. Serve with Slow Cooker Char Siu. 

Comments
These is the pancake recipe which goes with the Slow Cooker Char Siu from The Cast-Iron Darling.  I ended up doubling the recipe from what you see here which gave us the right amount of pancakes for 3 pounds of pork loin. 

I would make a few changes next time, but just minor ones.  The meat and the pancakes were both great, but it would have been nice to have some green crunchy things to go along with the dish.  I’ll be serving this with some combination of shredded cabbage, sliced green onions, and sliced cucumber next time.
