The Scallion Pancakes - cjs - 01-31-2010

I guess I'm the last one to make the pancakes, but there is an error in Labs printing of the recipe-

Scallion Pancakes
2 cups (8 1/2 ounces) King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour (not 1 cup)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup (2 1/2 ounces) yellow cornmeal
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons (3/4 ounce) toasted sesame seeds
2 cups (16 ounces) boiling water
2 to 3 bunches (5 to 6 ounces total) scallions, thinly sliced (use all but the very ends of the green)

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients. Add the boiling water, stirring till everything is well-combined, then stir in the sliced scallions.

Heat a griddle or skillet until a drop of water skitters across the surface. Grease it lightly with vegetable oil or non-stick cooking spray. Using a generous 1/4 cup for each pancake, drop the batter onto the hot griddle, spreading it out a bit as you do. Cook each pancake until it's browned and set at the edges before turning it over to finish cooking. Place the cakes on a baking sheet in a 300°F oven to keep them warm until you're ready to serve them. Or cool them on a rack, and reheat them in the oven or on a griddle. Cut the cakes into triangles, and serve them with the stew. Yield: 1 dozen 3 1/2-inch pancakes.

Bless his heart, Billy screwed up the recipe when he typed it up. I couldn't figure how they called for 1 cup of flour and it was going to weight 8 1/2 oz..... doesn't compute

Anyway, I've got the right amounts now.

nice catch Jean! We will keep you around. Who cares if you usually don't know what day it is.

"Who cares if you usually don't know what day it is." When I retire, I'm not going to CARE what day it is!

Regarding the pancakes...I knew something wasn't right, but I thought it was the amount of scallion. Normally, when weights are given, I will weigh it out...the scale was right there. Oh well!

LOL! I never even noticed, since I copied and pasted the recipe from the King-Arthur website, rather than what Billy had typed, for better formatting.

I haven't even heard of these yet! Very interesting. My hubby is also a HUGE fan of scallions.

Now in the recipe it says to serve with 'the stew'. Is there a recipe for that?

These are definitely on the list of things to cook!
