Chinese Scallion Pancakes image

Unlike true pancakes, "Cong You Bing" (or Chinese scallion pancakes) are made from a dough instead of a batter. The tasty appetizers are the perfect "sponge" for mopping up extra sauce and can be made ahead of time for convenience. Just wrap a green onion pancake in foil and reheat in the oven. -Jenni Sharp, Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Time 40m

Yield 8 pancakes (1/4 cup sauce).

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 cups all-purpose flour

3 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 teaspoons minced fresh gingerroot
2 teaspoons rice vinegar
