These scallion pancakes are a super easy and tasty. You don’t need any fancy ingredients either—just an egg, water, flour, oil, salt, baking powder. and scallions. And of course, if you got some sourdough discard sitting in the fridge, with this receipt you can use the letfovers. These pancakes are great as a snack, side dish, or quick lunch. I think they taste best dipped in soy sauce.
