Best Simple Caramelized Onion Pancakes Recipes

SAVOURY PANCAKES WITH CARAMELISED ONION

Steps:

• Combine the flour and salt in a large bowl. Make a well and crack in the egg and pour in the milk and 1 tbsp of oil.
• Whisk until you have a smooth batter. Set aside.
• Heat the butter in a frying pan and add the onions. Fry until soft.
• Add the mushrooms and balsamic vinegar and cook until it has reduced.
• Add the spinach and wilt and set aside.
• Wipe a frying pan with oiled kitchen paper and heat over a moderate heat. Ladle the batter into the centre of the pan and tilt the pan so the batter spreads thinly around the pan. Cook undisturbed for 30 seconds.
• Flip the pancake and heat the other side for 30 seconds. Once cooked, put the pancake on a plate and cover with foil to keep it warm. Repeat with all the remaining batter.
• Assemble the pancakes by adding a line of the onion mixture and then the grated cheese. Fold and serve.

GREEN ONION PANCAKE

Steps:

• Place flour in a bowl. Add hot water slowly in a steady stream, mixing well after each addition. Add cold water; mix until no dry spots remain. Knead dough lightly by hand until a ball is formed. Place dough in an oiled resealable plastic bag; seal the bag and let dough rest for 30 minutes.
• Place scallions in a bowl; season with salt and pepper.
• Roll dough out onto a floured work surface into a thin rectangle using a rolling pin. Spread butter all over; sprinkle evenly with salt and pepper. Spread scallions over the dough, leaving top edge of the dough empty. Roll dough up carefully from the opposite edge, keeping scallions in place and pulling dough a little with every roll to make it tight.
• Cut the roll into 3- to 4-inch-long pieces by hand; pinch and seal both ends. Lightly flatten each piece into a circular pancake.
• Heat a nonstick saucepan with oil; cook pancakes until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Crush 2 sides of the pancakes with spoons or ladles until flaky.
