Bruce Kulick (former KISS guitarist and current Grand Funk Railroad guitarist) and his wife, Lisa Lane Kulick have launched a pancake recipe website – kulickspancakerecipes.com

Check them out! The Kulicks have an assortment of homemade pancake recipes available on their site. The first one I chose to make was the Scallion Pancake. As a huge fan of Asian foods, I was very excited to try my hand at making one of these golden beauties, and they did not disappoint!

I do recommend reading through the recipe first before getting started. Making dough from scratch is time consuming but it’s worth it! It’s healthier for you and once you taste the freshness, you’ll never want to buy the processed dough ever again.

A common concern with scallion pancakes is they tend to be overly greasy from the oil. Oil is an essential ingredient used for the pancake’s texture and flavor. The good news is making scallion pancakes at home will be less greasy than the ones at restaurants. I’m happy to report that these were not greasy at all! I loved that this recipe requires sesame oil. The sesame oil gave the pancakes a unique nutty taste to the flaky layers of the dough.

The dipping sauce is an absolute must! It’s the Yin to the pancake’s Yang. The sauce exudes a bold sweet flavor that compliments the savory pancake perfectly.

Overall, I highly recommend this recipe! You can easily serve these as appetizers or as the main course. I made mine with a side of Kinoko Itame. You can easily pair this with stir fried veggies or any type of dim sum dish too.
