4/5 Stars
It’s a good pancake. The sauce is yummy, we used french mustard and it turned out fine as it doesn’t specify what type to use. We also cooked our pancakes in the oven for 5mins because it doesn’t tell you how long to cook them in the oven it just says “finish in the oven” and this turned out to be fine as well. Too much cabbage and leek. Make sure everything is covered with the egg, we only used half of everything except the 6 eggs so the proportions are a bit off.
