Baked Chive Pancakes

Baked Chive Pancakes are a delightful vegetarian dish, featuring layers of flaky dough interspersed with fresh chives for a savory flavor. These pancakes are perfect as a snack or a side dish, offering a satisfying crunch with every bite.

Ingredients

• all-purpose flour - 200 grams
• boiling water - 120 milliliters
• salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• chopped fresh chives - 50 grams
• vegetable oil - 2 tablespoons
• sesame oil - 1 teaspoon
• additional flour for dusting - as needed

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add the boiling water while stirring with a fork until a shaggy dough forms.
2. Let the dough cool slightly, then knead it on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20 minutes.
3. After resting, divide the dough into two equal portions. Roll out each portion into a thin circle, about 25 cm in diameter.
4. Brush each circle lightly with vegetable oil and sprinkle evenly with chopped chives.
5. Roll each circle into a log, then coil the log into a spiral shape. Flatten the spiral gently with your hand and then roll it out to a circle again, about 1 cm thick.
6. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Place the pancakes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
7. Brush the top of each pancake with sesame oil. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
8. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before cutting into wedges. Serve warm.
