Ingredient Notes

We have, 1 cup of all-purpose flour (a gluten-free version can be used for those with dietary restrictions), 2 tablespoons of sugar (coconut sugar for a healthier alternative), 1 pound of eggs (approx. 8 eggs), and 1/2 cup of milk (any plant-based milk can be used for a dairy-free version).

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Start by mixing flour, sugar, eggs, and milk to make a pancake batter.
  2. Pour a thin layer of batter into a hot pan and cook until golden on both sides.
  3. Repeat with the rest of the batter.
  4. Finally, wrap your favourite brunch fillings inside the pancake.

Things I’ve Learned

Remember not to overmix the batter, as it can make the pancakes tough. The pancakes can be kept warm in a low oven while you complete cooking the batch. The wraps are best enjoyed immediately, but leftovers can be stored in the fridge and reheated in the oven.

FAQs

Substitution questions: Yes, you can substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free version. Coconut sugar or any other low glycemic index sweeteners can be used instead of regular sugar. Any plant-based milk can be used for a dairy-free version. Storage: The pancake wraps are best eaten immediately but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Reheating: They can be reheated in the oven at a low temperature.
