These savory Korean pancakes, known as Jeon, are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Perfect for a snack, appetizer, or side dish, they can be made with a variety of ingredients, but the basic version is made with scallions and flour.

Ingredients

    Directions

    Step 1

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and pepper. Gradually add water while stirring until a smooth batter forms.

    Step 2

    Fold in the chopped scallions and any optional vegetables you wish to add, ensuring they are evenly coated with the batter.

    Step 3

    Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil, swirling to coat the bottom of the skillet.

    Step 4

    Once the oil is hot, pour about 1/2 cup of the batter into the skillet. Spread it gently with a spatula to form a pancake roughly 6 inches in diameter.

    Step 5

    Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until the edges are crispy and the underside is golden brown. Flip the pancake and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side.

    Step 6

    Remove the pancake from the skillet and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more oil as necessary.
