Homemade Scallion Pancakes....Talk about some good eats!
Every Friday my kids and I have what we call "our date night". That's when we sit together and watch our favorite family friendly
shows together. We watch American Idol, Dancing with the starts, So you think you can dance....The great escape. All shows that
feature no sex, no violence, but instead feature people making real efforts to be successful at something. I want to share with my
kids how important goals are and how much work goes into achieving them. We love our date night. We have our favorite people
and we cheer like we actually know them. My other goal is to show my kids that while we always strive to win it's just as important
to be graceful when we lose. It's important (in my humble opinion) that kids realize that they are not the center of the universe. That
other people may have the same goal they do. That even with their best efforts the other person may come out on top, and when that
happens that they respect the efforts of the other person and be able to congratulate the "winner" sincerely. These shows while very
entertaining, help me make all those points as we watch the hard work that goes into a contest ending with only one winner.
I am only chattering on about this because tonight instead of watching our usual "date night" show (this time of year it's So you think
you can dance) we watched the opening ceremonies of the Olympic Games. I never miss the Olympics, and now we watch as a
family. We cheer like mad for our team (The US Team) as this is our home, but we apply this rule.....even when our team does not
take home the gold the team that did worked damn hard and earned that gold medal. This rule makes watching the games so much
more fun. My kids (the oldest) now appreciates these people as athletes and people not just opposing teams. When they are amazing
she is thrilled for them. Even if they are not on our team. Of course I hope the US team does really well, thankfully they always do.
But, tonight I was thrilled to share yet another opening ceremony with my kids...our date nights must be working....she is really
excited to see everyone compete not just "our team".
Enough about me and my kids.....Let's cook shall we?

smooth. Proceed as instructed.For the Pancakes

Here we go...
Place flour in bowl of food processor (see note). With processor running, slowly drizzle in about 3/4 of boiling water. Process for 15
seconds. If dough does not come together and ride around the blade, drizzle in more water a tablespoon at a time until it just comes
together. Transfer to a floured work surface and knead a few times to form a smooth ball. Transfer to a bowl, cover with a damp
towel or plastic wrap, and allow to rest for 30 minutes at room temperature, or up to overnight in the fridge.

I let my dough rest for an hour
Divide dough into four even pieces and roll each into a smooth ball. Working one ball at a time, roll out into a disk roughly 8-inches
in diameter on a lightly floured surface. Using a pastry brush, paint a very thin layer of sesame oil over the top of the disk. Roll disk
up like a jelly roll, then twist roll into a tight spiral, tucking the end underneath.

Flatten gently with your hand, then re-roll into an 8-inch disk. Paint with another layer or sesame oil, sprinkle with 1/2 cup
scallions, and roll up like a jelly roll again. Twist into a spiral, flatten gently, and re-roll into a 7-inch disk. Repeat steps two and
three with remaining pancakes.

Combine all the sauce ingredients and set aside at room temperature.

I added a bit of fresh chopped chives...a bit of extra flavor
Heat oil in an 8-inch nonstick or cast-iron over medium-high heat until shimmering and carefully slip pancake into the hot oil. Cook,
shaking the pan gently until first side is an even golden brown, about 2 minutes. Carefully flip with a spatula or tongs (be careful not
to splash the oil), and continue to cook, shaking pan gently, until second side is even golden brown, about 2 minutes longer. Transfer
to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Season with salt, cut into 6 wedges. Serve immediately with sauce for dipping. Repeat with
remaining 3 pancakes.

These scallion pancakes are addictive. I served them with a chicken stir-fry I made. These do take a little work but none of it
difficult. They are really just scrumptious!! I already want more!!!
Enjoy.
