In a mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, instant yeast, salt, and sugar. Gradually add warm water while stirring to form a soft dough.
Add the egg and knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rise for 1-1.5 hours or until doubled in size.
Incorporate the Scallions:
Once the dough has risen, gently punch it down and knead in the finely chopped scallions until evenly distributed.
Shape the Pancakes:
Divide the dough into equal portions and roll each portion into a ball. Flatten each ball with your palm to form a round pancake, about 1 cm thick.
Cook the Pancakes:
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease with oil. Place the pancakes in the pan, leaving space between each.
Cover with a lid and cook for about 2-3 minutes until the bottom is golden brown. Flip the pancakes and cook the other side until golden and puffed.
Serve:
Remove from the pan and serve warm. These pancakes are delicious on their own or paired with a savory dipping sauce.
