Ingredients

130g plain flour
1 large egg
300ml milk
1 tbsp melted butter

For the filling

100g fresh coconut, grated
1 tbsp brown sugar, or caster sugar
Pinch of ground nutmeg or ground cardamom or a drop of vanilla extract
Honey or maple syrup, to serve

Methods

1. Mix the flour and a pinch of salt together in a large bowl. Make a well in the centre and gradually add the egg and milk, whisking to form a smooth batter. Add a little water to thin down, if necessary. Finally, mix in the melted butter.

2. Heat a 12cm non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Pour in 3 tablespoons of the pancake mixture, tilting the pan slightly so the batter covers the entire base, and cook for about 2 minutes. Turn over and cook the other side for 2 mins. Set aside and keep warm while you make the remaining 7 pancakes.

3. Mix the filling ingredients together in a bowl. Spoon a generous amount of the mixture down the middle of each pancake and roll up.

4. Drizzle the pancakes with honey or maple syrup and serve with vanilla ice cream.

Tip : Why not use crème fraîche instead of ice cream.
