Instructions

Step 1

Start by mixing the milk, flour, egg, chopped scallions, water, baking powder, salt, and ground ginger in a bowl until you get a smooth batter. Heat some oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, pour enough batter to make about four pancakes. Cook them until you see bubbles forming on the surface, which usually takes around two minutes. Flip the pancakes and let them cook for another minute or so, until they’re nicely golden brown. Remove them from the pan and serve warm.

Storage Tips

Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. To reheat, warm them in a skillet over medium heat to restore crispiness instead of microwaving. You can also freeze uncooked dough wrapped tightly for up to one month.
