Thai Spice Pancakes
- Here’s a zingy meal idea – a savoury pancake made with rice flour, and brimming with the flavours of Thailand. It’s a beautifully versatile recipe which can be customised with an array of different herbs, spices and flavours!
- A great alternative to the usual lemon-and-sugar-style pancakes.
- Try filling with braised tofu instead.
