Servings 15 pancakes
Equipment
- whisk
- 2-1 non-stick frying pan
- ladle
Ingredients
- 1 cup chopped green onion
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 7 cups water
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the green onions, eggs, vegetable oil and water. While you're whisking the liquid mixture together, slowly add the flour little by little. Make sure there is no small balls of flour in the mixture. Add the salt, give it a few good whisks, and set it aside.
- Heat a teaspoon of oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Use two skillet if you think you can manage two cooking at the same time. Spoon a ladle-sized amount (1/2 cup) of pancake mixture onto the hot pan, making sure to include some of the green onions in each scoop.
- Swiftly rotate the pan to spread the mixture evenly along the edges. Once the edges begin to brown or curl up, flip the pancake and cook for 1-2 minutes on the other side. Repeat this process until all the mixture is used up.
- To serve: squeeze a line of your favourite condiments (ketchup, soy sauce, etc). Roll it up and serve immediately.
