These quick and easy savoury seafood pancakes have a creamy haddock and prawn filling. They’re great for dinner – especially on Pancake Day.

Ingredients

For the pancakes

125g plain flour
1 medium egg, beaten
275ml-300ml semi-skimmed milk
Vegetable or sunflower oil, for frying

For the filling

25g unsalted butter
30g plain flour
200ml whole milk
splash of double cream
300g smoked haddock fillet
a knob of butter
200g cooked peeled prawns
squeeze of lemon juice

Method

Make the basic pancake recipe. Set six pancakes aside and keep warm.
Melt the butter in a pan, then stir in the plain flour and cook for 2 minutes. Gradually pour in the milk, stirring continuously, until it forms a thick sauce. Season, then add a splash of double cream and set aside.
Put the haddock, skin-side down, in a pan with a knob of butter and cook over a medium heat for 3 minutes. Turn and cook for 1 minute, then remove. Flake the fish with a fork, then fold into the sauce with the prawns, lemon juice, dijon mustard and fresh dill. Spoon into 6 pancakes, then roll up and serve.
