My mom and I tested this Crispy Egg Filled Pancakes five times before filming; every dish you see on my blog involving flour is my mom’s recipe.
My mom is super talented with flour. I had Crispy Egg Filled Pancakes growing up in Taiwan at the daytime markets; however, since moving to Canada, I never had them.
I was strolling through Instagram a couple of months ago and saw a street vendor selling these, I sent them to my mom, and she replied, “I know how to make them; I’ll make it today, EASY”.I get inspired by how talented she is every day, and I am so glad I have a blog to share these recipes with you and document and learn them for myself!
All you need to make Crispy Egg Filled Pancakes is flour, salt, oil, green onion, water, and eggs.
The dough will puff up similar to pita bread; you make a hole in the middle and fill it with your preferred filling. I like mine with green onion eggs, but I also had it with ham and cheese, which is super tasty! The key to successfully PUFFY Crispy Egg Filled Pancakes is patience.
Traditionally, these pancakes are finished off in a stone oven which allows them to slowly puff up, however, since most of us are making these on the stove, just be patient, and the pancake will slowly puff up.
If you ever traveled to Taiwan before, you will know we take breakfast VERY seriously there.
In fact, all of the best dishes such as dumplings, potstickers, radish cakes, egg pancakes you can find at breakfast. I have tons of recipes on my blog of some of my personal favorite breakfast dishes in Taiwan. Highly recommend giving my chicken congee and egg roll pancake a try!

- Once the pancake puffs up, make a hole in the middle with your chopstick and pour in the egg mixture. Let it sit for 1 minute before flipping and let it cook on the other side for another 1-2 minutes or until the egg is cooked.

Love green onions and love eggs, not to mention crispy flaky green onion pancakes, so this is calling me. Just wanted to be sure about your instructions. After pouring egg in pancake, instructions say let sit for 1 hour then flip and continue to cook for another 1 to 2 minutes. Did you mean to sit for 1 minute not an hour?
Sorry it has been adjusted ❤️❤️❤️ Hope u like these!
