Spring Onion Pancakes
Dough:
3 cups plain flour (FLOSC)
1 teaspoon salt (SALTI1)
1 1/2 cups warm water
1 tablespoon peanut oil (PEANO1)

1/3 cup peanut oil (PEANO1)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour (FLOSC)
1/2 teaspoon salt
Filling
1 bunch of spring onions, finely chopped
1 bunch of chives, finely chopped
Peanut oil, for cooking the pancakes
Soy sauce (SOYSD)
To make the dough combine all ingredients together. The dough should be sticky, but not wet. Use a teaspoon of peanut oil to cover the dough and place in a bowl to rest for 1 hour.
For the roux mix together all ingredients, then set aside.
Once the dough has rested divide in to six even balls.
Cover your work surface with a teaspoon of oil then roll each ball out into a long strip (about 30cm by 8cm).
Spread 1/6 of the roux over the dough then sprinkle with same amount spring onions and chives.
Roll the dough up length ways, folding and tucking in the edges every so often so no spring onions come out the side.
Heat your frying pan to a medium heat with two tablespoons of peanut oil and preheat your oven to 180C.

Repeat with the rest of the pancakes.
