This is perfect for lunch or a side dish for a larger meal - either way, enjoy it with lashings of crispy chilli oil and get stuck in!

Method

  • Start by combining the hot water and flour. Mix with a wooden spoon until it's cool enough to handle, then knead until smooth. Allow to rest for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine the melted butter and flour - it should be paste like. This is also a good time to finely chop your spring onions (you can also use a food processor)
  • Roll out the dough into a rectangle - as thin as you like. Spread over the flour-butter mixture, then sprinkle over the spring onions and chilli flakes.
  • Roll up from the shorter side into a long log. Slice into 4 equal portions. Flatten them down, so the spring onions are in a spiral throughout the dough. Gently roll out to flour tortilla size.
  • Add a splash of vegetable oil to a non-stick pan over medium heat, then add one of the pancakes. Cook until light golden brown, then flip. Repeat with the rest of the dough
  • Once you've done the final pancake, turn the heat down to medium/low. Top with shredded mozzarella, then another pancake. Cook until the cheese has melted, flipping once. Repeat with the other two.
  • Serve with chilli oil, and enjoy!
