Gather @all-purpose flour{300%g} and @spring onion{6}.

Stir the hot @water{180%ml} into the flour with chopsticks, then knead briefly into a soft, smooth dough. Cover and rest 20 minutes. ~{20%minutes}

Mix 2 tablespoons of @vegetable oil{5%tbsp} with the @sesame oil{1%tbsp} and a spoonful of flour to make a loose paste.

Divide the dough in four. Roll one piece into a thin rectangle, brush with the oil paste, season with @salt{1%tsp} and shower with scallions.

Roll it up into a rope, coil the rope into a snail, tuck the end under, and flatten gently with the rolling pin to a 15 cm disc. Repeat with the rest.

Fry each pancake in a film of oil over medium heat, about 3 minutes per side, pressing lightly, until blistered and deep golden. ~{6%minutes}

Scrunch each hot pancake between your hands to separate the flakes, cut into wedges and serve with a soy-vinegar dip.
