I know, I know, this was a long time coming. After trying Franchia's spring onion pancakes whilst in New York, I knew I had to put the effort into rustling up some of these delicious, warm, soul soothing morsels. I've seen them around the net and in a few Japanese and Korean cookbooks but have never really taken the time to try them, because in my little world pancakes shouldn't require effort like bread. Pah, how wrong was I? I will most certainly be making these more often, because the dough can be frozen for about a month or kept refrigerated for a couple of days.

I used the whole of the spring onion, green and white bits, the green not only adding colour but flavour, and the white bits take on a sweet - savoury flavour when cooked in the dough. Now, I know it says pancake, but this is not made with a batter; instead it is made by forming a dough and flattening it out. Perhaps it would be more apt to call it a flat bread? I don't think mine were exactly the same as #Franchia. Next time round I might substitute out some of the plain flour for glutinous rice flour. To give more of a chewy texture inside and crispy on the outside. However, for my first attempt I think they were pretty good.
So with just a few ingredients, and a bit of wrist work you'll have yourself something filling and delicious.
Let's cook...

Roll each piece of dough into a smooth ball, taking a rolling pin. Roll the dough out into a round shape, brush with the slurry and sprinkle over some of the the pre chopped spring onions.
Taking one end of the dough, start rolling the dough on itself, it should form a crescent shape, roll this into a spiral (like a cinnamon bun).
