Ingredients

For the pancakes
85g/3oz plain flour
1 free-range egg
milk, to make a batter
For the filling
150g/5¼oz spinach, cooked, water squeezed out
150g/5¼oz ricotta
pinch grated nutmeg

Method

1. To make the pancakes, place the flour in a bowl and whisk in the egg and enough milk to make a batter. The batter should be the consistency of double cream.
2. Heat a little oil in a pancake pan and ladle the batter in, swirling the pan to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side then remove. Repeat to make three pancakes.
3. Meanwhile, mix the spinach, ricotta and nutmeg in a bowl.
4. Lay the pancakes on a clean flat surface. Divide the filling between the pancakes and roll up to secure. Cut on an angle and serve immediately.
