Gluten free Chinese Scallion Pancakes

I love me a hot scallion pancake! This version is a little softer than the classic Chinese version, and the sweet rice flour helps give the pancakes a little chewiness. Err on the side of overcooking them; undercooking them will result in gloppy unpleasantness. These would be great as an appetizer or hors d'oeuvre; just make them small, let them cool, then top with a bit of ahi poke (think: blinis with caviar). It's a party on a pancake!
