Homemade 蔥油餅


This must be my ultimate favorite snack/appetizer in Chinese cuisine. It translates to "scallion pancake." Astonishingly addicting. Restaurant-bought is nice, but homemade is a bit healthier and saves your wallet!

Ingredients include a can of biscuits (flaky is better!), green onions, and canola oil.


Rinse and chop green onions.




Also, open the can of biscuits and let the dough rest for a bit. Snag a rolling pin and a tiny cup of flour.


Next, sprinkle over the top of a biscuit generously with green onions. Fold and mush into a ball.





Use flour to avoid sticking! Then roll and flatten with your pin. Add a dash of salt.


Heat a pan of canola oil just under boiling. Gently drop a pancake in, away from your body. 
Sizzling means you're doing it right.



After a few minutes, check underneath to see if it's browned and deliciously done. If so, carefully flip over.


The texture is part soft, part crunchy, all incredible. Dig in with a splash of soy sauce!


Enjoy~!
