Important Suggestions To Keep In Mind

• Wraps can also be made from these pancakes.
• If you wish, grate a variety of vegetables like onions, carrots, and capsicum into the batter or make a light vegetable sauté to serve as the filling inside the pancakes.
• You can keep leftover pancakes in the refrigerator covered. To reheat, simply microwave or reheat in a pan. Alternatively, pancakes can be frozen. After they have thawed overnight in the refrigerator, reheat them.
• In any kitchen, a good blender can save the day. In most cases, you don’t need the best of the best, just something you can depend on. Consider becoming a Patron if you enjoy what I’m doing here and would like to support me.

Storage Suggestion

To reheat, simply microwave or use a pan. Freeze them as well! Then let them thaw overnight in the refrigerator and then reheat when ready to serve again.

Serving Suggestion 

Try anything from the east or the Arab countries instead of tomato sauce — chutney dip, hummus, or tahini would all be delicious.
