QUICK CHINESE SCALLION PANCAKES (VEGAN)

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together the flour, water, sesame oil and salt using a whisk until smooth. Set aside.
• In the meantime, wash and finely chop the scallions, discarding the roots and the tips of the green tops. Using your fingers, quickly break apart the chopped scallions to separate out the layers. Mix into the batter.
• Heat about 2 teaspoons of oil in large frying pan (I use one that is 10-inch / 25-cm) on medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, swirl the oil around so it coats the pan. Quickly ladle on the batter in the shape of a ring, then immediately use a spatula to spread the batter to fill the ring, and to spread the batter outward to make the pancake into a circle (I use about 3/4 cup of batter for each pancake on a 10-inch pan). The batter will cook quickly on the hot pan, so just spread it around as much as you can. Cook the pancake for about 4 minutes, periodically lifting the pancake up to check if the bottom has browned. When the scallion pancake has browned on the bottom, lift the pancake up with a spatula, quickly add a bit more oil to the pan, and flip the pancake. Cook for another 4-5 minutes until the bottom is browned. Remove from heat and set on a oil absorbing paper (or paper towel) to remove the excess oil. Repeat with the remaining batter. Using 2 frying pans simultaneously will speed up the cooking process.
• Serve immediately.

SAVORY GRUYèRE BREAD WITH HAM

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350ºF. Butter and flour a metal 9 × 5-inch loaf pan and set it aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Stir in the chopped ham, scallions if using, thyme, and 1¾ cups (7 ounces) of the Gruyère (reserving the rest for topping). In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, and buttermilk. Add the wet mixture to the flour mixture and stir to combine. The batter will be thick.
• Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly, smoothing the top. Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup (1 ounce) cheese over the top. Bake until the top springs back when lightly pressed and a skewer inserted in the center comes out with some moist crumbs attached, 45 to 55 minutes.
• Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let it cool for 10 minutes. Then remove the bread from the pan and let it cool completely on the wire rack.

SAVORY SCALLION QUICK BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place an UNGREASED 10" diameter castiron skillet in the oven while the oven is preheating.
• In a medium size bowl combine the white flour and whole wheat flour. Add the baking powder and salt, stirring well.
• In a separate bowl, combine the oil, plain yogurt, green onions, dill if using, and black pepper. Blend the yogurt mixture into the flour mixture thoroughly to make a soft dough.
• On a floured cutting board, knead the dough about 5 times and pat into a round loaf. Remove castiron skillet from oven and carefully and lightly grease the skillet with butter or oil.
• Place the shaped dough into the castiron skillet, spreading and flattening out the dough to fill up the pan almost to the edges. Brush on egg wash or melted butter and bake for about 35-40 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean.
• Serve warm.
