Whether you're in need of an appetizer, a meal, or a snack, these scallion pancakes are super simple to make and you probably already have most of the ingredients on hand any way. I woke up feeling so nostalgic about my trip to Asia this past summer but munching on these crispy beauties made me feel like I was back in Taiwan again.

Step 1

#SpoonTip If you can sift your flour while measuring, it will be so much crispier! -
Step 2
Put aside your scallions and combine the flour and the water.
-
Step 3
Mix thoroughly and allow the mixture to rest for 7 minutes.
-
Step 4
Add scallions and salt to the mixture.

Step 5
Heat up a pan (using oil is optional if you have a non-stick pan but I just wanted to make them extra crispy) and mix in the scallions while waiting.

Step 6
Spoon the mixture into the pan and use that spoon to evenly distribute for a thin, crispy pancake. You can size them however you'd like.

Step 7
Wait for the edges to turn slightly golden and flip to cook thoroughly .

Step 8
Allow the bottom to brown and then serve! I like it best with crispy chili oil.
