Pancakes are a type of flatbread that is popular in many cuisines. They can be made with a variety of different flours, and they can be either savoury or sweet.

This dish is simple to make and can be easily customised to your liking. The pancakes are soft and fluffy, and they make a great base for other dishes such as stir-fries or sandwiches.

4 tbsp hoisin sauce

Instructions:
