Chive Flower Pancake

Another great Korean savory pancake recipe; this time using chive flower. Chive flower are like a cross between green onion and a thin green bean. The difference between these and garlic chives is that the chive flower has the little bud on the end. Garlic chives are a little flatter with more of a garlic flavor. Either work well for his recipe if you can’t find one or the other.
