When you find yourself with nothing to eat at all at home for breakfast - no cakes, no bread, no biscuits, no nothing - this is the recipe to go to for a quick fix. This cheesey savoury pancake is super easy to make; it can be done in less than half an hour as minimal work is involved. It can be eaten on its own or, if you like, with chili sauce. If you do not like coriander you can substitute it with chives or green onions.
I used a 24-cm non-stick wok and the recipe yields 5 pieces of pancake. You can increase the recipe by 2 or any number of times depending on the number of people.
Ingredients:
- 125 g all-purpose flour
- 3 g salt
- 3 g chili flakes
- 30 g coriander, chopped
- 10 g garlic chopped
- 30 g dried prawns, toasted and pounded (optional)
- 20 g melted butter and more for frying
- 1 egg
- 3 g baking powder
- 30 g grated Mozzarella cheese
- 235 g water
Method:
- Add all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
- Mix them up till they are well-combined.
- Heat up a non-stick pan with a dollop of butter.
- Let the butter melt.
- Scoop some of the batter into the centre of the pan and use the bottom of the scoop to spread it out in a circle.
- Let it fry till it is golden brown.
- Flip the pancake over to the other side to cook it.
- Once this side has turned golden brown, remove it from the pan.
- Serve.
