Chinese onion pancakes
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Flaky flatbreads with aromatic green onions and a crispy crust will make a worthy substitute for bread, even at a festive table—this dish will appeal to everyone. I recommend frying them in vegetable oil, but if necessary, you can fry them in a dry skillet—then they will be less flaky and less golden. You can add not only Provence herbs to the dough, but also Italian herbs or a mixture of basil, oregano, and marjoram.
