Recipe Idea: Scallion Pancakes

Sometimes, the mood strikes for that ideal, perfect snack.  Something chewy, but also crispy, and a little salty.  It should have a few distinct flavors to keep things interesting.  When we get that craving, we often reach for a scallion pancake, which has been described as an amazing snack, as well as a side dish and an appetizer.  How you choose to enjoy them is a matter of preference, but there is no debate in our minds that the best way to prepare them is on a Little Griddle griddle, due to a variety of factors that make them best cooked out-of-doors.
