Now as it’s a Tuesday – we sometimes call it Tuna Tuesday in our family, and we made this on Shrove Tuesday as well, both on the same day, so we thought this would make the perfect lunch time solution : savoury tuna pancakes and sweetcorn for your lunch box. Now you don’t have to wait for Pancake Day! You can make these any day, any time of the year so don’t feel limited in any way!
So let’s get to the Savoury Tuna Sweetcorn Pancake recipe…

Notes
If transporting in a lunch box, take the prepared filling mix and the cooked pancakes in separate containers, and assemble together just before serving.
If possible re-heat in a microwave. Enjoy!
If you don’t have access to a pancake mix, you can make your own! Really quick and easy to do:
4oz (100g) plain flour
pinch salt
1 egg
1/2 pint milk
Put the flour in a bowl, add pinch of salt, make a well. Add egg. Use baloon whisk and whisk, slowly pouring in the milk to make a smooth batter. Keep whisking adding in air as you whisk. That is it!
