Scallion Pancakes

Makes 5 Pancakes

Ingredients
2 Cups flour
120 Ml Warm Water
1/2 package of yeast
10 Scallion stalks
1 Ts Brown Sugar
1/2 Ts brown sugar
1 Tb Salted Butter
10 Ts Butter

Directions
Combine the water, 1 ts sugar and yeast and let it bloom for about 5 minutes.  After 5 minutes,
in a mixing bowl, combine the liquid with the 2 cups of flour.  Mix the two thoroughly and let the 
newly created dough rise for 20 minutes.  

While the dough is rising, clean and mince the scallions and combine the minced scallions with
1 Tb of butter and 1/2 Ts brown sugar.   

After the dough has risen, separate it into 5 same sized pieces.  One at a time, roll the dough out
on a floured surface into a disc with approximately a 4.5 inch diameter. Evenly apply 1 Tb of the 
scallion/butter/brown sugar mixture to the top of the dough and then roll the dough up.  Then, take the roll
and roll it a second time, lengthwise.  Lastly, roll the dough back out into a disc with a 4.5 inch diameter.

The purpose for the rolling is the a) evenly distribute the scallions and to b) create layers within the dough.

Cook your scallion pancake in a frying pan on low.  Fry the pancake with butter (Approximately 2 Ts for each
 pancake).  Cook both sides until they are golden brown.

After your pancake is cooked on both sides you are ready to eat. Make sure to eat it warm and fresh!
