I’m a big fan of savoury pancakes and the South African Dutch pancake makes a perfect stuffing pancake. Similar to a crepe, but with a thicker and fluffier, consistency, its holds the creamy creamed spinach perfectly. You can also overstuff this bad boy without any problem!
Just like the name of this recipe, this meal is a mouthful, and will keep you satisfied and full. Its a perfect any time meal, that will impress your friends. The cherry tomatoes adds a little freshness to the pancake and pairs wonderfully with the creamed spinach. Drizzle with a little bit of balsamic reduction for a little bit of pizazz!
