Pancake Wraps

⏱ 30 mins 🍽 Makes 4-5 pancakes 🌶 british ✅ Easy 🏷 Snack

These savoury pancake wraps are a popular and speedy snack, especially with children. The recipe uses a simple batter made from self-raising flour, egg, and milk, which is flavoured with either a spicy chicken or lemon prawn mix. The pancakes are fried until golden, then filled with fresh salad and a choice of sauce before being folded and enjoyed immediately. The whole process takes around 30 minutes and yields 4 to 5 wraps.

Pancake Wraps

Ingredients

  • 100g self-raising flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 200ml milk
  • Spicy chicken or Lemon prawn flavouring (see below)
  • vegetable oil for frying
  • shredded lettuce such as Romaine
  • chopped cucumber
  • quartered cherry tomatoes
  • tomato ketchup or mayonnaise

Method

  1. Sift the self-raising flour into a mixing bowl. Use the back of a spoon to create a well in the centre and crack the egg into it. Slowly whisk in the milk until you have a thick batter, then stir in your chosen Spicy chicken or Lemon prawn flavouring along with salt and ground black pepper.
  2. Pour a small amount of vegetable oil into a large frying pan and place it over the heat. Drop batter into the pan using a large serving spoon, cooking one or two 12cm pancakes at once based on your pan's size.
  3. Once bubbles form on the pancake surface, flip each one carefully using a palette knife. Continue cooking for a few minutes more until the underside is golden brown, then transfer to a plate. Top each pancake with shredded lettuce, chopped cucumber, and quartered cherry tomatoes, add tomato ketchup or mayonnaise, then fold over and serve straight away.
