BACON AND SPRING ONION PANCAKES



Bacon and Spring Onion Pancakes image

This is my version of the Chinese home-style pancake that my mum used to make for me when I was a child-she used little dried shrimp instead of bacon and water instead of stock. These are great as a light lunch or a quick snack. My children love them, especially drizzled with some sweet chili sauce! Try cutting them in triangles, rolling them up and securing with a cocktail stick-great for serving with drinks! Please note that these are NOT American style pancakes, more like a savoury crepe.
