Ingredients
For the crêpes
- 60²µ/2¼´Ç³ú plain flour
- 1 large free-range egg
- 150ml/5½fl oz milk
- 1 tbsp sunflower oil, for frying
For the filling
- 100g/3½oz Greek-style yoghurt
- 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh dill, plus extra to garnish
- 1 small lemon, 2 tsp juice and 4 wedges only
- 100g/3½oz thickly sliced smoked salmon
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
Method
To make the crêpes, mix the flour and eggs in a bowl. Whisk in half the milk until smooth. Add the remaining milk and whisk until well combined. Pour the mixture into a jug and set aside.
To make the filling, mix the yoghurt, dill and lemon juice with a pinch of salt and ground black pepper in a bowl. Adjust the seasoning to taste, adding a little extra lemon juice if needed. Set aside.
Brush a little oil over the base of a small non-stick frying pan – it will need a base no larger than 18cm/7in. Pour a quarter of the crêpe batter into the pan and swirl around until the base is completely covered. Cook for 1 minute or until the bottom of the pancake is cooked and golden-brown in places. Loosen the sides with a palette knife or turner and flip over. Cook the other side for 40–60 seconds more. Transfer to a warmed plate and continue to cook the remaining 3 pancakes.
To serve, spread each crêpe with the dill mixture, top with smoked salmon and a little extra dill. Fold or roll the pancakes and serve with lemon wedges.
