By JimMac

Ingredients

• 3-1/3 cups flour
• 1-1/4 cups boiling water
• Oil (I prefer olive)
• thinly sliced green onions
• Salt
• Pepper - optional

Preparation

Step 1

DIRECTIONS

Place flour in a bowl.

Add boiling water, stir until dough is evenly moistened.

On a lightly floured board, knead dough until smooth and satiny(about 5 minutes). Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.

On a lightly floured board, roll dough into a cylinder; cut into 10-12 equal portions.

Make each cake:

Roll a portion of dough into an 8-inch circle about 1/8 inch thick; keep remaining dough covered to prevent drying.

Brush with a thin film of oil.

Sprinkle with a spoonful of green onions and some salt(and pepper-optional)

Roll dough into a cylinder and coil dough into a round patty; tuck end of dough underneath.

Roll out again to make an 8-inch circle about 1/8-inch thick.

Cooking:

Place a wide frying pan over medium heat until hot.

Add 2 tablespoons cooking oil and make sure pan is evenly coated all over.

Add 1 cake and cook, turning once, until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes on each side.

Remove and drain on paper towels.

Repeat with remaining cakes, adding more cooking oil as needed.

Cut cakes into wedges.

Serve hot with dipping sauce.
