很多老式的葱油饼，会在事先预备好的面团里夹入油酥、葱和一大块猪油肉；接着放在油锅上煎，等煎至双面金黄，再放进炉内烘烤10秒，这样整个外皮会更加松脆。这样的一种葱油饼从制作到出炉大约需要10分钟。烤得金黄焦脆的葱油饼被整齐的码在台子上。吃老式的葱油饼，最美味的就在于外层，一口咬上去脆脆的，并且还带着葱花和肉的气息，如果烤得再焦脆一些，吃起来会更香。
A lot of old-fashioned Green onion Pancakes are made by putting puff pastry, the chopped green onion and a large piece of greasy pork in the prepared dough; then frying it on a frying pan. When its two sides are fried until they are golden, put it in the stove and bake it for 10 seconds to make the outside layer crisper. It takes about 10 minutes to make such Green onion Pancakes from making them to taking them from the stove. The roasted golden crispy Green onion Pancakes are placed on the table neatly. The most delicious part of the old-fashioned Green onion Pancake is the outside layer. When having a bite, you can feel the crispness and taste the flavor of green onion and meat. If the pancake is roasted crispier, it will be even more delicious.

如今很多自制的葱油饼会比较柔软厚实，这是用了发面的缘故。想要吃出创意，还可以在葱油饼上敲个鸡蛋，让蛋香溢满整只葱油饼，吃得更实撑。葱油饼还可以配小馄饨，搭配糊辣汤和豆腐脑，不管是单吃还是做早饭，都是经典之选。
Now many homemade Green onion Pancakes are relatively soft and thick due to the leavened dough.

Green onion Pancakes can also be eaten with small wontons, with pepper and chili soup and soft bean curd. They are a classic choice, whether as snack or as breakfast.
