ONION POTATO PANCAKES
"WHEN Grandma prepared potato pancakes, she used an old-fashioned grater, great for potatoes but not for knuckles! With homemade applesauce, this sauce, this side dish complements a meal so well. I made these pancakes for my family and often served them as a main dish for light suppers.

CHINESE SCALLION PANCAKES
Unlike true pancakes, "Cong You Bing" (or Chinese scallion pancakes) are made from a dough instead of a batter. The tasty appetizers are the perfect "sponge" for mopping up extra sauce and can be made ahead of time for convenience. Just wrap a green onion pancake in foil and reheat in the oven. -Jenni Sharp, Milwaukee, Wisconsin

BREAD AND ONION PANCAKES
Steps:
- To make the batter, crush the bread cubes into the chicken stock in a mixing bowl with the back of a spoon. Add the onion, cilantro, Tabasco, eggs and salt, and mix with your hands, kneading the mixture until it is well blended but not smooth; there should still be small visible lumps of wet bread.
- Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons of the oil in a large, nonstick skillet. When hot, add about 1/3 cup of the pancake mixture to the skillet, spreading it with a spoon to create a disk about 4 inches in diameter and about 3/8 inch thick. Repeat, working quickly. Have three or four pancakes cooking at a time (depending on the size of your skillet). Cook the pancakes over medium to high heat for about 4 minutes. Then turn and cook for 4 minutes on the other side.
- Transfer the pancakes to an ovenproof plate and set them aside in a warm oven while you continue making more with the remaining batter and oil. (Although the pancakes are best eaten immediately after cooking, they can be cooked ahead, cooled, and then reheated under a hot broiler just before serving.)
- To make the sauce, simply blend all the ingredients. Serve over the pancakes, or dip.

CHEF JOHN'S CHINESE SCALLION PANCAKES
These fun-to-make flatbreads are a common fixture on menus in China, and while they all feature the same few ingredients, they come in a variety of thicknesses. The thinner you make these, the crispier they'll be, but you won't get that nice, layered, oniony inside. On the other hand, if you make them too thick, they can be a little doughy inside, so I try to shoot for something in between.

Steps:
- Combine bread flour and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the middle and pour in hot water. Mix together with a wooden spoon to form a shaggy dough.
- Transfer dough onto a lightly floured work surface. Knead dough until sticky but relatively smooth and elastic, dusting with a minimal amount of flour if needed. Wrap in plastic wrap and let dough rest for 2 hours.
- Mix vegetable oil, sesame oil, and flour together in a skillet over medium heat until starting to bubble, about 3 minutes. Cook for 1 minute more. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.
- Unwrap dough and cut in half. Roll out into a tube and press down with your fingers. Use a rolling pin to flatten dough into a rectangular shape about 1/8-inch thick, flipping over and dusting lightly with flour halfway through.
- Paint surface of the dough with the oil mixture until just covered, leaving 1 inch of space on the edges. Sprinkle scallions on top. Roll dough up tightly to seal in the scallions, starting with the long side. Pull the opposite edge over the top once you have reached it.
- Coil 1 end of the dough inward toward the middle; wrap the opposite end around the coil to finish, tucking the tip under the bottom. Dust the coil with flour and roll dough out into a pancake about 1/4-inch thick. Repeat with remaining dough, oil, and green onions to make the second pancake.
- Heat vegetable oil in a cast iron skillet over high heat. Add 1 pancake; lower heat to medium. Cook until crispy and browned, about 4 minutes per side. Repeat with the other pancake. Cut into wedges.

Steps:
- Dice the onion coarsely or slice.
- Add oil to a skillet or wok and caramelize the onions and garlic together. This may take up to 30 min and can be done the night before, in mass, or early. You want them a caramel looking brown color.
- Add your tarragon or herbs in the last 5 minutes of this process.
- Let the onions cool and prepare the batter.
- In a medium size bowl beat your eggs, milk and 2 Tablespoons of oil together. Set aside.
- In a small bowl mix dry batter ingredients, flours, baking powder, salt, sugar, and pepper. Stir well. Add the dry ingredients to the egg and milk mixture stirring until fairly smooth. Some lumps are fine.
- Now stir in the cooled caramelized onions and herbs.
- Fry as you would any other pancake on a hot sprayed or oiled griddle at around 400°F.
- Serve with stew, as lunch, snack, or breakfast.
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor.
- Make sure the bread is stale for the best texture.
- Grate the onion finely for a more evenly distributed flavor.
- Don't overmix the batter, or the pancakes will be tough.
- Cook the pancakes over medium heat to prevent burning.
- Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings.
