Mix the salt, chili powder and black pepper with the flour.
Pour in the boiling hot water and combine until you have no more lumps.
Add the chopped scallions and combine.
Heat 1-2 Tbsp of oil in a pan and fry the pancakes one at a time, using one ladle of batter per pancake.
Serve with soy sauce and more chopped scallions.
Notes
These are a quick batter-style pan-fried pancake, not the rolled-and-layered dough version, so they come together in minutes. Serve hot with soy sauce for dipping.
