Instructions
- Mix the flour, salt, sugar and lukewarm water until you get a smooth dough. Knead for 5 minutes, then cover and let it rest for 20 minutes.
- Divide the dough into 4 balls, roll each out into a very thin disc, brush with oil and roll them into cylinders. Coil them into a spiral and flatten into a pancake.
- Cook the pancakes in a very hot dry pan for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until golden in patches.
- Meanwhile, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and scramble them in a small oiled pan, keeping them fluffy and soft.
- Spread the scrambled egg over a hot pancake, add the cheese, cucumber and sauce, then roll it up tightly.
- Cut in half diagonally and serve straight away while the pancake is still soft.
Variations and tips
Vegetable version. Add lettuce leaves and tomato slices before rolling.
