Scallion Pancakes
- 1 34 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 34 cups cake flour
- 1 12 cups boiling water
- 1 teaspoon coarse salt
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 cup sliced scallion
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- Sift flours into work bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade; add salt and oil.
- Add water in a thin stream while blade is running; stop after adding 1 c of boiling water and check consistency.
- Dough should be firm and pliable, barely sticky, and forming a ball.
- If necessary, add more water a little bit at a time.
- Remove dough from machine, place in a bowl, cover with a damp towel, and refrigerate 30-60 minutes to allow the gluten to relax.
- Divide dough into six pieces.
- Roll each piece into a rough rectangle 1/8" thick.
- Brush lightly with toasted sesame oil (the dough should barely glisten) and sprinkle with scallions.
- Roll tightly like a jelly roll.
- Twist the resulting "cigar" into a spiral with the seam on the inside.
- Using a rolling pin, roll each spiral out into a thin pancake, 5-6" in diameter.
- Fry each spiral in very hot oil, 2-3 minutes on each side, until edges are crispy and pancakes are golden brown.
- Cut into wedges and serve with light soy sauce or ponzu sauce.
