I forgot to make [[Pancakes|pancakes]] yesterday (Shrove Tuesday) so thought I would make amends. Not being sweet-of-tooth, I thought a savoury version would be nice.

It was!

These quantities make about 6 to 8 pancakes using a large frying pan.

{{RecipeIngredients

| 2 [[Free range eggs|free range eggs]]
| 110 g (4 oz) [[Plain flour|plain flour]] ([[All purpose flour|all purpose flour]]), sifted
| 50 g (2 oz) [[Butter|butter]]
| pinch of [[Table salt|table salt]]
| [[Olive oil]] or [[Butter|butter]] for [[Frying|frying]] - an [[Oil|oil]] [[Spray|spray]] works really well here
| 200g canned [[Tuna|tuna]] (in [[Oil|oil]] or [[Brine|brine]], whatever is your preference)
| 110g [4oz] of good strong [[Cheddar cheese]]
| [[Sea Salt|sea salt]] and [[Freshly ground black pepper|freshly ground black pepper]]
}}

===[[Mise en place]]===

* Preheat the [[Oven|oven]] to 180° C (350° F - gas 4), [fan [[Oven|oven]] 160° C & reduce cooking time by 10 mins per hour] and line an [[Oven tray|oven tray]] with [[Greaseproof paper|greaseproof paper]].
* That is quite hot but it also helps to melt the [[Cheese|cheese]] while the remainder are being cooked.
===Method===

{{RecipeMethod
| Grate the [[cheese]], mash the [[tuna]] and add a grind of [[black pepper]].
| Sift the [[salt]] and [[flour]] into a large mixing bowl. Hold the sieve high so the [[flour]] gets combined with lots of air
| Make a well in the centre of the [[flour]] and break the [[eggs]] into it.
| With a spatula mix the [[eggs]] and [[flour]] together
| Ideally with an electric hand mixer, gradually add the milk and water mix whilst whisking. Your goal is a smooth [[batter]] with no lumps or stray bits of [[flour]]
| There is no need to leave the mixture to stand, make the pancakes straight away
| Heat the [[butter]] in a heavy [[frying]] pan, swill it around so the pan is well oiled but not [[dripping]] in [[fat]]. Pour the remaining [[butter]] into a plate to use for the remaining pancakes.
| Or you can use an [[oil spray]], just enough [[oil]] to lightly coat the pan for each pancake.
| Use 2 tablespoons of [[batter]] mixture per pancake, dolloped in the middle of the pan and instantly swirl the pan around to distribute the [[batter]] around the whole of the pan
| Cook for about 30 seconds on the first side, flip over and immediately add a little tuna and grated [[cheese]]. Cook this side for about 20 seconds then roll up and keep warm in the oven whilst you cook the remaining pancakes.
| Dab a little more [[butter]] on the [[frying]] pan or a spray of oil before every fresh pancake.

===Serving suggestion===
These were nice with sliced [[tomatoes]] and a [[green salad]].
