In a bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water and let it rest for 2–3 minutes.
Add the low-gluten flour, vegetable oil, and a pinch of salt to the yeast mixture. Mix until a rough dough forms.
Knead the Dough:
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 5–7 minutes.
Add the chopped scallions to the dough, kneading gently to distribute them evenly.
First Fermentation:
Cover the dough with a cloth or plastic wrap and let it ferment in a warm place until it doubles in size (approximately 1 hour).
Shape the Pancakes:
Roll the dough out to a thickness of about 1 cm (0.4 inches).
Use a round cutter or a cup to cut the dough into small, round pancakes.
Cook the Pancakes:
Heat a frying pan on low heat and add a small amount of oil.
Place the pancakes in the pan, cover with a lid, and cook until one side is golden brown (about 2–3 minutes). Flip and cook the other side until golden and fully cooked.
Serve:
Remove the pancakes from the pan and let them cool slightly. Serve warm as a snack or side dish. Enjoy their crispy yet soft texture!
