Scallion Cornmeal Pancakes

Overview

The texture of this cornmeal pancake is a little chewy, not too soft, not too hard, and slightly salty with the aroma of green onions. The onion aroma in particular can really whet your appetite. Even those who don’t like to eat whole grains ate several of them. For this coarse-grain cornmeal pancake, my mother did not add flour. She directly added some salt, baking soda, and chopped green onion to the cornmeal and mixed well. It has the same feeling as adding flour. Although it is simple, you still need to have a trick. If you don’t pay attention, your pancake will definitely become hard. 100 grams of new cornmeal, appropriate amount of salt,

  4. Mix the flour ingredients well, add water little by little and stir into a thick batter. It is recommended that it can be formed but not too thin. Mine is a little bit thin. Let the batter stand for a few minutes to let the cornmeal absorb the water. Don't make it thin. If it is thin, the cake will become hard

  7. Hold up a small piece of thick batter with clean water, shape it slightly and immediately put it into the pan, flatten it slightly, quickly add other small pancakes, and close the lid (it should be noted here that if the speed is slow, the top of the small pancake will become dry, and if the batter is too thin, the other pancake will crack)
