So simple I can’t believe I didn’t try it before. A real old school childhood favourite.
Thanks to Huge Fearnly!
Ingredients:
Pancake batter
breadcrumbs
breadcrumbs
2 beaten eggs
Plain Flour
Your choice of fillings
Make some pancakes, any recipe will do but make sure you substitute a teaspoon of salt for the sugar, remember they are savoury.
Choose your filling. Whatever you fancy really, in the pictures here, I had pastrami, cheese and chillies, Laura went for ham, cheese and tomato. The only boundary here is your imagination. If you are going to go for something like chicken, minced beef or fish, cook it first.
Put some filling on one side of the pancake, but be sure to leave about a 1.5cm border. Paint the border with a little beaten egg, and fold the pancake in half. Press down around the flat edge so it sticks. Then dip the pancake in flour, then beaten egg, and roll in breadcrumbs. If you want old fashioned orange breadcrumbs, add a little turmeric to them.
Shallow fry for a few minutes either side, the pancake is already cooked, so you are just heating it through, and perhaps melting the contents.
Perfect, Just like being Eight years old again. :)
