Crispy pancakes

[Workingman]

For Debih....

Make your pancakes as normal, but flip them out onto a tray of breadcrumbs, if you have them.

Fillings:

Minced beef and onions.

Finely chop an onion and fry till soft then add the minced beef and continue to cook till the beef is done. Crumble in a stock cube and and pepper and add enough water to allow it to mix. Keep cooking till the mix has thickened - a bit of flour might help. A spoon of curry paste or the addition of tomato purée, cumin, oregano and chilli will turn the base into curry or chilli-con-carne filling. Chilli might need a few kidney beans.

Chicken.

Chop your seasoned chicken (seasoning of your choice) into small cubes and fry gently. Once that is done the the choice is yours. Make a butter/flour roux and then a thick sauce from chicken stock and add things to your choice. I like mushrooms or sweetcorn, but you could do curry. It really is up to you.

Place your filling in the centre of a pancake and fold to make an envelope, seal with a flour/water paste. Do this while the pancakes are hot. I make them individually and leave them on a rack to cool. They wil freeze so I make them in batches.

To serve, shallow fry the pancakes, turning them to cook evenly, or cook in a medium oven till crisp.
