Scallion and Thyme Pancakes
These spiced Scallion and Thyme Pancakes are thin, flaky, and rip apart delicious. A simple vegan/vegetarian recipe that's sure to please!
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 stalks scallion, chopped
- 1/2 onion, finely diced
- 8 sprigs fresh thyme, stems removed
- 3/4 cup warm water
- 2 tbsp berbere spice (optional)
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp oil
Instructions
- Whisk together flour and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer. Using the dough hook attachment, slowly add water to the mixture and knead on low for approximately 5 minutes, or until dough forms a smooth ball. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let stand on your countertop for 1 hour.NOTE: If you are not using a stand mixer, slowly add warm water to flour and salt mixture and use a fork to gently fold the ingredients together. Then use your hands to knead the dough for about 5 minutes, until dough forms a smooth ball.
- While the dough is resting, prepare the filling. Finely chop scallions, being careful only to use the green parts of the scallion. Remove stems from thyme and reserve the leaves. To prepare the onions, heat 1/2 tbsp of oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add finely diced onions and cook until onions become translucent, approximately 4-6 minutes. Set aside.
- After dough has rested for 1 hour, remove dough and cut into four equal pieces. Take one piece of dough and place on a lightly greased surface (I used a silicone mat). Using a rolling pin, roll dough into a thin rectangle, about 15 in x 10 in. You should be able to see through the dough without any tears forming. Brush oil onto surface of dough, then top with sauteed onions, chopped scallions, and fresh thyme. Sprinkle some berbere spice on top (optional).
- Fold over both ends of the dough towards the middle, then roll into a log. Curl the log into itself to form a flower. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough into the shape of a large round pancake. I like to make each pancake as I go, cooking one pancake while I make another.
- Heat a flat top griddle and spray with cooking spray or lightly grease with oil. Cook each pancake for about 3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Transfer pancake to a cooling rack or a plate lined with a paper towel.
- These pancakes are best served immediately. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce!
