Now that the amaranth is growing in abundance, I'd like to share the general procedure for making pancakes filled with amaranth and wild greens.
Pancake crust ingredients: 500 grams of gluten flour, 4 grams of yeast, 350 grams of warm water;
Filling ingredients: 300 grams of fresh amaranth, 5 eggs, 200 grams of sweet potato vermicelli, 5 green onions;
Filling seasoning: chicken broth, oyster sauce, pepper, lard, peanut oil, salt;
Warm water and flour is the main method of making homemade pancakes, scallion pancakes, pies Warm water and noodles is the main production method of homemade pancakes, scallion pancakes, pies, etc. Warm water and noodles is the flour and 40 to 50 degrees of warm water mixed together to make a soft noodle product.

The hot noodle products are soft, palatable and non-sticky, due to the fact that the boiling water blending the noodles makes the starch in the flour turn into a paste and the proteins coagulate with the heat to reach half-cooked.
Oil blended noodles, suitable for shortcakes, are made by mixing flour and oil together and rubbing them together to form a fine oil dough. The dough is called shortbread, and it is usually not used on its own, but is used to make a "grease crust".
The best way to make shortcrust pastry is to boil the fat in lard, and choose the fat from the boss oil for better results, because the viscosity of lard is bigger and the oil is good, so the finished product is beautiful and crispy, and the layers are distinct.
The production of pancake pasta, the key to good pancake pasta, the first to master the preparation of raw materials (dough), the following are several ways to configure dough:
