How to cook it

  1. Whisk the flour, water and a pinch of salt into a thin, pourable batter.

  2. Heat a lightly oiled nonstick pan over medium heat and pour in a thin layer of batter, swirling to coat the base.

  3. Cook 1 minute until set, then crack an egg directly onto the pancake, break the yolk and spread it over the surface.

  4. Flip once the egg is just set, scatter with chopped scallions, and drizzle with the soy sauce.

  5. Fold the pancake in thirds like a letter and slide onto a plate.

  6. Repeat with the remaining batter and egg, and serve warm.
