If you’re looking for a quick, satisfying, and versatile meal that steps outside the usual breakfast box, savory pancake wraps are the answer. Think soft, thin pancakes filled with your favorite savory ingredients—perfect for lunch, dinner, or a snack on the go. Whether you’re craving something cheesy, meaty, or veggie-packed, this recipe forms the perfect base for your creativity.
Savory pancake wraps are incredibly adaptable. They’re lighter than bread, easier to fold than tortillas, and work beautifully with a wide range of fillings. Plus, the batter is made from everyday pantry staples, so you can whip these up anytime.
Ingredients
For the Pancake Wraps:
- 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup (250 ml) milk
- ¼ cup (60 ml) water
- 2 tablespoons melted butter or oil, plus extra for the pan
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- Optional: chopped herbs like chives or parsley for extra flavor
Suggested Savory Fillings:
- Sautéed spinach and garlic with crumbled feta
- Scrambled eggs and cheese
- Grilled vegetables and hummus
- Chicken strips with avocado and sour cream
- Smoked salmon with cream cheese and capers
Method
1. Make the Batter
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add the milk, water, and melted butter. Pour the wet ingredients into the flour and whisk until smooth. Let the batter rest for 10–15 minutes.
2. Cook the Pancakes
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and brush lightly with oil. Pour a small ladleful of batter into the pan and swirl it around to coat the surface. Cook for about 1–2 minutes until the bottom is lightly golden, then flip and cook the other side for another minute. Stack cooked pancakes on a plate and cover with a clean towel to keep warm.
3. Assemble the Wraps
Lay a pancake on a flat surface and fill it with your chosen savory ingredients. Fold the bottom up, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly like a wrap. Serve warm or cold, depending on the filling.
Tips for Success
- You can make the pancakes ahead of time and refrigerate them for up to two days. Reheat gently in a pan before filling.
- Add fresh herbs or spices to the batter for extra flavor.
- Try a mix of textures—creamy spreads with crunchy veg or melty cheese with crispy bacon.
Savory pancake wraps are the kind of meal you can make your own—quick enough for busy weekdays and elegant enough for brunch with guests. Keep the base recipe in your back pocket and switch up the fillings with what you have on hand. It’s the perfect way to turn simple ingredients into something special.
