In one of our first ever YouTube videos (over three years ago!) we made Spring Onion Pancakes. Since then, we’ve made them many times over, which is no small testament to how deliciously satisfying they are.
The recipe itself is very simple. You make a dough that doesn’t need extensive kneading, then roll it out to a big sheet, before sprinkling on the filling and curling it into a snail-spiral.
Having made it so many times we’ve discovered some tricks to ensure the optimal level of flakiness and crunch in each of the layers. The two most important ones are to roll it out to no thicker than 0.5mm (so very thin!) and to not curl the spiral too tightly, so the layers have a chance to cook and stand proud.
But the most exciting way to tweak the pancakes is to play around with the flavourings. In this version, we add sriracha, that tangy spicy sauce that not only adds heat but a beautiful orange-red colour that peaks through the layers. Give this a go!
