Whether you're in need of an appetizer, a meal, or a snack, these scallion pancakes are super simple to make and you probably already have most of the ingredients on hand any way. I woke up feeling so nostalgic about my trip to Asia this past summer but munching on these crispy beauties made me feel like I was back in Taiwan again.

    Spoon the mixture into the pan and use that spoon to evenly distribute for a thin, crispy pancake. You can size them however you'd like.
