Savory scallion pancakes

These were inspired by Jing's lunch :-) They taste a lot like zelnik, but are a lot simpler (and cheaper) to make. They are likely more healthy as well, thanks to the use of unsaturated fats, rather than shortening.

Ingredients
2 cups flour
1-1.5 cup water
1 tbsp salt
1.5 tsp baking powder
5-10 chopped scallions
oil

Preparation
Mix the flour with the salt and baking powder. Pour in 1 cup of coiling water and mix. Add more boiling water until the dough comes together. Knead until elastic well mixed. Allow to rest for 2 hours covered at room temperature.

It's important to use boiling water in order to 'cook' the flour at this step.

When the dough is ready, roll it out on a floured surface to 1/8 inch thick (you can cut it in three portions, and repeat repeat these steps with each). Brush with oil. Spread with chopped green onions.

Roll up, cut into 4 pieces (if you are working with a third of the dough). Now you have four little tubes of scallions. Twist these, to get a circle, then flatten with a rolling pin, or with your palm.

Fry in a little bit of oil over medium-high heat until crispy outside.

Serve with spicy sauce and plain yogurt!
