Scallion Pancakes (Cong You Bing)

Flaky, crispy, and aromatic flatbreads with layers upon layers of dough separated by rendered fat and chopped scallions. The dough is rolled, oiled, sprinkled with scallions, then coiled and rolled again to create the characteristic spiral layers that shatter and pull apart when bitten.
