Let’s get cooking! Follow these steps for a fun and rewarding experience:

1. In a large bowl, combine the flour and boiling water, stirring with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms.
2. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
3. Divide the dough into four equal pieces. Roll each piece into a thin circle, about 8 inches in diameter.
4. Brush each circle lightly with vegetable oil, sprinkle with salt, and scatter a quarter of the scallions over the surface.
5. Roll the dough into a log, then coil it into a snail shape. Flatten gently with your palm and then roll it out again into a pancake.
6. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of oil. Fry each pancake for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.
7. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and serve warm.

From one home cook to another, don’t stress about getting perfect circles. Mine always end up a bit rustic, and they’re still delicious!
