Green Onion Pancakes

INGREDIENTS

3 cups flour
2 tsp sea salt
1 1/4 cups boiling water
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
6 or 7 green onions, green parts only, finely chopped
2 tsp extra virgin olive oil

DIRECTIONS 

In a large bowl, mix the flour, salt, and boiling water together with a fork. When it has started to combine, knead the dough by hand until it is smooth and no longer sticky, about 5 to 10 minutes. Form into a ball, cover with a damp cloth, and let the dough rest for 30 to 60 minutes.

Divide the dough into 16 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a 1/4 inch thick circle. Brush each circle with oil and sprinkle with about 1 teaspoon of green onions. Roll each circle into a cylinder, then coil it into a tight spiral. Roll each spiral flat to about a 1/4 inch thick.

Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 teaspoons of oil and heat. Fry each pancake until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Serve hot alongside your favourite stir-fry or cut into quarters for a delicious appetizer.
