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.
