    Cook the pancakes

    Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, pour in part of the mixture and spread it into a thin pancake. Cook for about 1 minute, until the edges are golden; flip and cook the other side for 2–3 minutes over low heat, pressing gently so the filling cooks through. Repeat with the remaining mixture to make 3–4 pancakes in total. Serve freshly cooked with the dipping sauce.
