Method:

- work the dough until it is soft and pliable, knead for 5 min and set aside, covered with a damp cloth, for 20 min
- divide the dough into 12 pieces. Roll out into rectangles 5mm thick.
- toss the spring onions with salt and sesame oil. Brush each pancake with melted butter and scatter with some of chopped spring onion.
- roll up the pancakes lenghtways to encase the onions then flatten slightly so that they will not unwrap during cooking
