In reply to Art Braunschweiger. You can use either 240g or 300g, it has no impact on the final outcome; however, please note that the final yield will be 4 pancakes, not 2

Your recipe calls for 2 cups of chopped scallions, which is a half cup per pancake. Your photo doesn’t show you using anywhere near that amount. Also, 2 cups of flour is 240 grams – not 300. It’s unclear whether you mean to use 240 grams or 300 grams.

In reply to Alana. Alana, Yes, the dough will be slightly sticky and you need to use oil. It feels like a bread dough.

The mention of the strong aroma from scallions really makes me want to try making these at home. I appreciate how the recipe simplifies the process while still promising that satisfying crispy texture. It’s inspiring to see traditional street food made accessible in the kitchen.

I have tried this multiple times and my dough is always incredibly sticky to the point that I can’t shape it into balls before and even after resting. I’ve added like a whole other cup of flour and it’s still crazy sticky and I can’t get it to be a smooth dough. What is everyone else’s consistency?

In reply to Mary. Brush some oil in the center part, maybe only 1/2 tbsp. each time.
