Ingredients
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup water or liquid stock
- 2 eggs
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 packed cups cabbage, finely sliced
- 2 spring onions, finely sliced
- 2 tablespoons oil
- Toppings (optional)
– Sweet chill
– Aioli
– Green part of the spring onion
Method
- Measure the flour, water or stock, eggs, and salt in a bowl and mix together using a whisk or wooden spoon until there are no large lumps.
- Mix through the sliced cabbage and white part of the spring onion, reserving the green parts for the topping, if desired – using the whole spring onion in the batter will work too.
- Heat a large 28cm frying pan on medium-high heat, add the oil and swirl to coat the pan.
- Add in all of the pancake cabbage batter and spread it evenly across the pan.
- Turn the heat down to medium and let it fry for about 5-8 minutes before flipping, occasionally check the bottom of the pancake to make sure it is not browning too quickly – lower the heat if it is.
- Flip the pancake once the top looks set, then lower the heat to low and cook for another 3-5 minutes until it is golden.
- Top with your desired toppings and serve warm.
