Scallion Pancakes

You can only eat so many scallions. I learned that the hard way after buying one bunch at the farmer's market because when your cooking for one person that's a lot of scallions. Thank you chinese takeout menu for giving me the brilliant idea of scallion pancakes! Could not be simpler. (Well maybe if it didn't involve measuring it would be simpler.)

Ingredients
1 cup flour
3/4 cup water
1 tsp sesame oil
1 egg
Salt
Some scallions, sliced
Vegetable oil
Only makes about 4 pancakes so feel free to double.



Mix all ingredients except for vegetable oil until smooth.




Drop a few spoonfuls into a small nonstick pan coated with vegetable oil over medium heat. Swirl until you have a thin crepe-like pancake. Should take a couple of minutes to brown up nicely, then flip over and brown the other side.

I made a dipping sauce of:
Soy sauce
Ground ginger
Rice wine vinegar
Sesame oil
