Crespolini pancakes

Main Serves 4 15 min
Stuffed pancakes cooked in a hot oven until the cheese on top is melting and golden brown. These go well with a crisp green salad and a glass of white wine. Use a hard cheese substitute for Parmesan to keep them vegetarian. Makes 8 pancakes. See our basic pancakes mix for a simple recipe.
