About this Recipe

We love trying flatbreads in any shape and form from across the globe and Scallion Pancakes are at the top of our list. A must-have at our favorite Chinese restaurants, scallion pancakes are a savory flatbread with many layers of flaky dough studded with, you guessed it, scallions. This is our Brava take on the classic. This recipe makes about 4 medium sized pancakes.
