Chinese Scallion Pancakes

Originally from China, but I was attracted to them because they are made from ordinary ingredients, by the way - and green onions, the star of the spring season definitely had to be used more interestingly.

Although they are also called pancakes, they have a pie texture, with a very fine onion flavor and delicious. I also recommend it as a bread substitute at a meal, or as an interesting appetizer.

And then I spread each "snail" in a sheet about 5mm thick.

You can stretch them without the dough resting, but they may be more elastic and harder to stretch.
