(from largomason’s recipe box)

Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 6 scallions, trimmed and finely sliced (white and light green parts)
  • 1 cup spring or filtered water
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon dark sesame oil

Directions

  1. Sift 2 cups of the flour, the salt, and the baking powder together into a large bowl. Make a well in the center and add the water and the sesame and vegetable oils. Work the flour in toward the center with a spoon to incorporate the dry and wet ingredients. Turn the soft dough out into a floured work surface and knead, using some or all of the remaining 1 cup flour, until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Wrap in plastic and allow to rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.

  2. Cut the dough into 12 equal pieces. Form into balls, then flatten them and roll out into 8-inch disks.

  3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Oil lightly and cook the disks until lightly golden, 1 to 2 minutes per side. (When the disks begin to form bubbles here and there, it’s time to flip.) Serve Hot.
