Best Recipe for Millet-Scallion Pancakes
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup millet
- 1 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more
- 1/3 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha
- 8 scallions, thinly sliced, divided, plus more for serving
- 2 large eggs
- 6 tablespoons buttermilk
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 6 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
- Cook millet in a large saucepan of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until tender, 15–20 minutes; drain, shaking off as much water as possible. Spread out on a rimmed baking sheet and let cool.
- Meanwhile, whisk soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, sesame seeds, Sriracha, and 1/4 of scallions in a small bowl; set sauce aside.
- Whisk eggs, buttermilk, cornstarch, sesame oil, and 1 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Fold in millet and 3/4 of scallions.
- Working in 3 batches, heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet or well-seasoned cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Add heaping spoonfuls of millet batter to skillet, press to 1/4" thickness, and cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side; transfer to a paper towel–lined plate.
- Sprinkle pancakes with more scallions and serve with reserved sauce.
- DO AHEAD: Millet can be cooked 2 days ahead; cover and chill. Millet batter can be made 6 hours ahead; cover and chill.
