Introduction
These are worth making on a weekend when you want something hands-on but deeply rewarding. The trick is not perfection — it’s enough oil, good rolling, and confidence.

Steps
- 1
Mix the flour, warm water, and salt until shaggy. Knead until smooth, then rest for 20 minutes.
- 2
Divide into 6 pieces. Roll one piece thin, brush with oil, scatter scallions and seasoning, then roll up and coil it.
- 3
Rest the coils for 10 minutes, then flatten each one gently into a round pancake.
- 4
Pan-fry over medium heat with a little oil until golden and crisp on both sides.
Notes
- Let the rolled coils rest before flattening them so the gluten relaxes.
- Use medium heat — too high and the outside browns before the inner layers crisp.
