Millet-Scallion Pancakes

These delicious pancakes turn out satisfyingly extra-crispy, thanks to a relatively dry batter, and pressing the pancakes flat in the pan.

millet-scallion-pancakes

  • 3/4 c millet
  • 1 1/2 t salt
  • 1/3 c tamari
  • 3 T rice wine vinegar
  • 2 t sugar
  • 2 t sesame seeds
  • 1 t sriracha sauce
  • 8 scallions
  • 2 eggs
  • 6 T buttermilk
  • 3 T cornstarch
  • 1 T sesame oil
  • 6 T sunflower oil

Millet-Scallion Pancakes Directions

  1. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the millet, stirring occasionally, for 15-20 minutes, until tender. Drain well, then spread on a baking sheet and allow to cool.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the tamari, rice vinegar, sugar, sesame seeds, Sriracha sauce, and 1/4 of the scallions. Set aside.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, cornstarch, sesame oil, and salt. Fold in the remaining scallions and the millet.
  4. Heat 2 tablespoons of the sunflower oil in a large, well-seasoned cast iron skillet or non-stick skillet. Work in batches to make pancakes. Add heaping spoonfuls of the millet batter to the skillet, and press to 1/4-inch thickness. Cook about 3 minutes per side, until golden brown, and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
  5. Serve with more sliced scallions on top, with reserved dipping sauce.
