- Pour the batter into the greased pan. Bake until the top of the cornbread is golden brown and lightly cracked and the edges have pulled away from the sides of the pan, about 25 min

Cong You Bing (Scallion pancakes)
Cong You Bing (Scallion Pancakes)
Ingredients
- 1 heaping cup flour
- ½ scant cup warm water
- 4 small green onions, chopped
- salt to taste
- sesame oil
Instructions
- Combine flour and water in a mixing bowl. Stir until a soft dough is formed. Add a little flour if the dough is too sticky. Flour your hands and knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. This may take some elboq grease, but it's worth it
- Divide the dough into three or four balls and set aside all but one, covered with a wet paper towel
- Roll the ball out with a rolling pin to the thickness of a tortilla. Dab the round with sesame oil and sprinkle green onions and salt on top. (sprinkle salt liberally)
- Roll dough up into a tube. Roll the tube between your hands, stretching it gently until it becomes a longer rope (but don't make the onions pop through)
- Coil the rope into a cinnamon roll shape, tucking the outer end of the rope under the coil. Dust the dough with a little flour and use a rolling pin to flatten to a pancake about ⅙ inch thick
- Transfer the pancake to a generously oiled frying pan over medium heat. When the cake bubbles and turns golden brown, flip and cook until the other side bubbles
