Total Time: 2 hrs 30 mins Preparation Time: 2 hrs Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

• 2 large eggs
• 120 g flour
• 180 ml milk
• 8 tablespoons oil
• butter, for frying
• 150 ml creme fraiche
• 1 bunch fresh chives
• 200 g smoked salmon
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Recipe

• 1 crack the eggs into a bowl and add the flour in a pile next to the eggs. gently start mixing the eggs with a whisk and gradually start mixing in the flour until it is all incorporated. if the mixture gets a little stiff add a little milk.
• 2 blend in the rest of the milk and the oil and a good pinch of salt.
• 3 leave for at least an hour before using.
• 4 heat a small (39-42cm) non-stick frying pan and melt a knob of butter in it. pour in a ladleful of batter, swirl the pan around then pour any loose batter back into the bowl it came from. you should be left with a thin pancake stuck to the pan.
• 5 let it cook for a minute or so, flip it over for 30secs and then slide it onto a plate. repeat until all the batter is used - it should make about 5. let the pancakes cool.
• 6 make a rectangle of 2 layers of clingfilm about 40x15cm and lay 2 pancakes on it side by side, slightly overlapping. spread them with a thin layer of creme fraiche, lay most of the chives on top, season well with pepper and place a layer of salmon over the top.
• 7 use the clingfilm on 1 of the long sides to roll the pancakes up tightly like a swiss roll. re-wrap in clingfilm and leave for at least an hour in the fridge to firm up before slicing into inch lengths.
• 8 serve with a dip made of the rest of the oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper. sprinkle with the remaining chives.
