Make a pancake as thin as possible. It tastes much better!

We make large size "pa jeon" generally in Korea. At home, I cut green onions in half, alternate root part and green part in a hot non-stick pan. Pour the batter evenly on top, cook for 2-3 minutes until I can flip it. Spoon over beaten egg, flip and finish cooking.
Cover the plate over the pan, turn it over, and serve.
