Spring Onion Pancakes (doughy)

2 cup plain flour
3-4 spring onions
1/2 cup boiling water
1/2 cup of cold water
1 teaspoon of sesame oil
1 teaspoon of salt
cooking oil

Cut up the spring onions whole
Put the flour into a bowl
Add the boiling water to the mixture
Add half of the cold water
Mix while adding the rest of the cold water until the mixture is of a doughy consistency
Add 1 teaspoon of sesame oil and 1 teaspoon of salt and mix
Shape the mixture into little pancakes
Put a pan on the stove and coat with cooking oil
Cook the pancakes into the pan until both sides are golden.

best breakfast in the world, although i really would argue it's a snack. but apparently Peoples of R.O.C eat these for brekky. i managed to down 3 of these heavy-set pancakes before noon, then went for a nap. i think maybe with this recipe they need to be rolled out into coils then flattened, to give them more of a layered effect, and hence will be lighter. but still they're very moreish.

Had to add a bit more flour for the mixture to get a doughy consistency so it's able to be shaped. Although the pannies turned out to be quite enjoyable they did end up a bit heavy. There wasn't a rolling pin available, so it didn't help that I wasn't able to roll them out a bit more flat. I remember the original spring onion pancake to be lighter and were poured onto a pan rather than made out into a dough. Had no luck in locating this recipe online, but I'll keep looking.
