  2. Makes: 8 pcs
  3. In a bowl, combine flour and 1/4 tsp salt. Stirring with a fork, add in 1/2 C boiling water and mix till dough is moistened. Pat into a compact ball.
  4. On a lightly floured board, knead dough till it feels smooth and satiny, about 3 minutes. Cover dough airtight and let stand at least 30 minutes.
  5. In an 8 - 10" frying pan over med-high heat, stir bacon often till brown and crisp, about 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon, and drain on towels. Reserve drippings.
  6. On a lightly floured board, roll dough into an 8 x 16" rectangle. Brush dough with 2 - 3 tsp melted , but not warm, bacon drippings, then sprinkle bacon and green onions proportionately almost to edge of rectangle.
  7. Starting with a short side of the rectangle, roll up dough to snugly enclose filling and form a compact log. Healthy pinch dough edge to log to seal. Gently press ends against the filled log.
  8. Cut log crosswise into 8 equal rounds. Flatten each piece slightly with your palm, then sprinkle each lightly with sesame seeds.
  9. Press each round till proportionately thick and about 4" wide. If filling pops out, press back into dough.
  10. Place rounds, without crowding, in a 10 - 12" frying pan over med to med-low heat. Cook, turning occasionally, till each side is dry looking and well speckled with brown, 6 - 8 minutes total.
  11. Mix remaining 1/4 tsp salt with sugar. As warm, browned cakes come from pan, sprinkle them lightly with salt-sugar mix. Serve cakes warm, hot, or possibly at room temp.
