About

This is really like a large stuffed savoury pancake – if you have the time you can stuff each pancake separately as they look very impressive all on a dish together. The wholemeal flour makes the pancakes nutty and the strongly favoured mince is a good combination. You can prepare this dish well in advance and keep it warm in the oven.

Ingredients

For the Pancakes

4 oz plain wholemeal flour (110 g)
½ teaspoon salt

Main course

Method

If you have a blender simply put the flour, salt, egg and half the milk in and whizz up – add the rest of the milk and whizz until smooth. If you have no blender beat ingredients with a wooden spoon until smooth. Heat a little oil in a heavy frying pan until smoking. Pour on about
