Jump to Recipe

VEGAN SCALLION PANCAKES

Last month I ordered these pancakes at our local Chinese restaurant, they were so good to be true.  I should say this savory flatbread is very similar to Indian Paratha , a layered flatbread made with flour, ghee and  salt & water. Paratha is a staple in our home. That’s why I decided to give it a try and make scallion pancakes at home. I was sure my family will love them. I was right!

The recipe is very straightforward and the best of all these pancakes are Vegan!

EASY SCALLION PANCAKES

My method of making scallion pancakes is very simple. It is actually a shortcut.

  • Make plain dough.
  • Allow the dough rest for 20-30 min.
  • Roll it out and then spread the chopped scallion, press it into the dough and generously sprinkle Himalayan salt on the dough. Coil and allow to rest for another 20 min.
  • Roll the dough out into a big thin pancake.
  • Cook pancakes until golden brown.
