Ingredients

  • Yield: 4 pancakes

  • Mix flour and salt together in a bowl. Pour in water and combine with an electric stand mixer or knead with your hands until you have a smooth dough that's not sticky. Let rest for 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Divide dough into 4 equal pieces. Form into balls and let rest for 15 minutes.
  • Roll each ball into a very thin, 8x12-inch rectangle. The thinner the rectangle is, the more layers you will have in the end. Spread about 1/2 tablespoon of shortening on each rectangle. Spread 1/4 cup scallions on top. Roll each rectangle so you have long ropes; press down on each end to seal. Roll each into a tight, snake-like coil, with seams inside.
  • Heat a 12-inch nonstick pan over medium heat. Put oil in the pan and spread around with a spatula. Place 1 pancake flat into the pan and cook, covered, about 2 minutes. Uncover and flip; season with salt and continue to cook until golden, about 4 minutes more.
  • Crack 1 egg in a small bowl and beat lightly. Add salt and pepper. Pour egg on top of the pancake, spreading evenly. Cover and cook until egg is set, 2 to 3 minutes. Uncover and fold pancake in half. Transfer to a plate and cut with a pizza cutter into 4 wedges. Repeat with remaining pancakes and eggs.
