Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Cook the pancakes in a very hot dry pan for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until golden in patches.
  4. Meanwhile, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and scramble them in a small oiled pan, keeping them fluffy and soft.
  5. Spread the scrambled egg over a hot pancake, add the cheese, cucumber and sauce, then roll it up tightly.
  6. 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.
