  • 2To prepare the pancakes, add flour and baking powder to a large mixing bowl. Whisk in eggs and butter, and then water to create a thick batter. Season with salt and pepper, then fold in scallions and mushrooms. Let rest in refrigerator for 1 hour.
  • 3Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil to the pan. Place a spoonful of batter into the hot oil and reduce heat to medium.
