Once smooth, put it in a bowl, cover with plastic and let it sit for an hour at room temperature. After resting, divide it into 8 even pieces, roll out one dough ball at a time as thin as you can get it so each is about 10 inches in diameter.

Scallion pancakes are the perfect blend of crispy, flakey, and chewy and packed with a delicious flavor. What makes this scallion pancake recipe great is all in the technique that results in the perfect texture.
In a large mixing bowl add flour and salt and whisk together. Add in sesame oil and boiling water and mix with a wooden mixing spoon until it forms a loose dough.
Lightly flour a working surface and place dough onto your surface. Begin kneading dough for about 5 minutes until the dough becomes smooth. While kneading, add flour as necessary to prevent your dough from sticking. Once dough is smooth, place it in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for about an hour.
Once your dough has rested for one hour, divide dough into 8 even pieces. On a lightly floured work surface, take one dough ball at a time and roll out as thin as possible. Once rolled out, each scallion pancake should be about 10” in diameter. Next evenly brush about 1 tbsp of chicken fat (or vegetable oil) over the top of the dough and spread a layer of diced scallions on top (about 1/4 cup) and season well with salt. Next roll the dough away from you into the shape of a cylinder. Once you have a tube-like cylinder, starting at one end, roll the dough into a coil like a. Cinnamon roll. Repeat the process with the remaining pieces of dough. Once you have 8 coils, cover with plastic wrap and let rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
Starting with one dough coil at a time while keeping other coils covered, lightly flour a working surface and roll out dough coil into a 6” round pancake. Repeat with each remaining dough coil stacking them as you complete each one and separating by wax paper, or lightly greased foil to prevent them from sticking.
Time for cooking. In a skillet on medium-low heat, add 1 tbsp of vegetable oil and heat until hot. Cook one scallion pancake at a time, flipping over frequently to prevent the scallions from burning. Cook until golden brown and crispy on both sides. It should take about 7-10 minutes to cook through. Remove scallion pancakes from skillet and place on wire rack or paper towel lined plate and let rest for a few minutes. Cut into triangles and serve with dipping sauce immediately!
Dipping Sauce
To make your scallion pancake dipping sauce, whisk together rice vinegar, soy sauce, chili oil, red pepper flakes and sugar in a mixing bowl until sugar is completely dissolved. Serve over scallion pancakes, or in a small dish for dipping.

How do you make fluffy Japanese pancakes from scratch?
There are a few more steps than regular pancakes, but they aren’t hard. You’ll whisk the egg yolk with a tablespoon of sugar so it’s light yellow and frothy, then add vanilla extract and the milk a tablespoon at a time. With a sifter, you’ll add in the flour and baking powder, whisking well. Then you make the egg white mixture in a separate bowl with a hand mixer or stand mixer. Whip the egg whites with the cream of tartar until foamy, adding 1 ½ tablespoons of sugar a little at a time until this mixture has a thick meringue texture that peaks. Combine them together, then cook them in a large non-stick frying pan that has a well-fitting lid. The heat must be low, and you must lightly grease it with oil. Pour the batter onto your pan, cover, and cook for 4 to 5 minutes. Lift it carefully, then add a little scoop of batter on top of each pancake, cover again and cook for 4 to 5 more minutes. Gently flip each one over and then cook for 5 to 6 more minutes. They will get taller and fluffier. They’re done when they are golden brown on both sides and completely cooked through.
Expert Tips and Tricks for the Perfect Fluffy Japanese Pancakes Every Time
Make sure you get the meringue just right. It should be cold until you whisk it and you should put it in a bowl that is clean and dry as anything else in that bowl can muck up that meringue. The peaks should hold but not be too stiff nor too soft for the perfect Japan fluffy pancakes.
Keep the heat low. Japanese pancakes require a lower cooking temperature and a bit more patience than other pancakes. Turning it up too high will burn the outside while the inside stays raw.
Cover them. Trust us, this will help take care of cooking the inside of the pancake. No one likes a raw-batter-filled inside!
Be gentle when flipping. Take it easy and handle souffle pancakes like you would a rare KISS collectible, ok?

Japan has pancakes? Yes, they do…and they’re amazing. Fluffy Japanese pancakes sometimes called Souffle Pancakes are a thicker, lighter, fluffier style of pancake that are absolutely delicious. If you’ve never had them, you’re in for a treat!
Start with the egg yolk by whisking together with 1 tbsp of sugar until light yellow and frothy. Whisk the egg yolk with 1 tablespoon of sugar until pale and frothy. Then add in the vanilla extract and begin adding in the milk 1 tablespoon at a time. Using a sifter, sift the flour and baking powder together over your egg yolk mixture and whisk well to ensure all ingredients are well combined.
Next we will work on the egg white mixture. In a separate bowl, using an electric hand mixer or kitchen mixer, whip the egg whites and the cream of tartar together until foamy, adding in the 1 1/2 tablespoons of sugar a small amount at a time until the egg whites are a thick meringue texture that holds a peak well. Once you achieve this texture, stop whipping. You do not want to over whip the egg white mixture.
Next we need to incorporate your egg yolk and egg white mixture. Add about 1/4 of the whipped egg white mixture and whisk it continuously into the bowl with the yolks until well combined. Then add half of the remaining whites into the yolk mixture and continue whisking being careful not to deflate them as they combine. Then transfer the egg yolk mixture back into the remaining egg whites while whisking lightly. Use a spatula to fold the final mixture together evenly.
Now we are ready to start the cooking process. Start by heating up a large non stick frying pan (with a well fitting lid) over low heat. VERY lightly grease your pan with oil and use a paper towel to spread evenly to achieve a very light coating. Once the pan is warm you a ready to start cooking. These pancakes need a lot of space. So unless you have a very large pan with a lid, I recommend making only one or two of these at a time. Using a measuring cup or ice cream scoop, scoop the soufflé’s pancake batter onto the pan, cover and cook for about 4-5 minutes.
After about 4-5 minutes, carefully lift the lid and add slightly less than one full scoop of pancake batter on top of each pancake. Cover immediately and continue to cook for an additional 4-5 minutes. Carefully remove the lid and use a spatula to gently look under the pancake to see how cooked it is. When it is ready to flip, the pancake should release easily. Gently flip each Souffle pancake, cover, and cook for 5-6 more minutes. As the pancakes cook, they will expand taller and fluffier when they’re done.
You’ll know the pancakes are done when they are golden brown on each side and cooked through. Gently remove and serve immediately with your favorite toppings. Maple syrup, powdered sugar, butter, whipped cream, and/or fresh berries are great options!
