Beijing Style Spring Onion Pancake 北京蔥油餅

I'm sure, dear readers, that you all are probably familiar with the fabulous Chinese spring onion pancake 蔥油餅!  Well, here is an alternate version, a Beijing Style Spring Onion Pancake 北京蔥油餅 that is similar yet different: delicate, super thin, eggy and just as delicious as its more famous cousin.  

This delicate pancake, infused with the savory umami aromas of spring onion and shallot, tis not only easy to make, but nom, nom, nom, perfect for an eggy breakfast or as a hot satisfying snack.  And, if you're feeling extra creative, use this thin delicious pancake to present a variety of other dishes in an alternative fabulously wrapped up way!

Haw Flakes Roselle Ice Cream 山楂餠洛神花雪糕

There is something absolutely sneaky and yet so satisfying about taking a childhood favorite food, a food most delicious and also most childishly fun to play with, and turn that food into a grown up version of itself!

Thus it is with cheeky pride that I present you with one of my favorite childhood candy treats,  haw flakes, a candy made from the hawthorn fruit, now transformed into Haw Flakes Roselle Ice Cream 山楂餠洛神花雪糕, a most elegantly fruity and tangy ice cream infused with the kiss of orange liqueur.   My oh my, some very grown up ice cream-liciousness!
