100g plain flour

70g spelt flour

Pinch of salt

Pinch of nutmeg and allspice

2 tbsps caster sugar

1 egg

200ml milk

50ml water (you may need a little more)

Oil, for frying

Topping 1

4 tbsps natural yoghurt 4 tbsps granola

3 tbsps chopped dried mangoes

Zest of ½ orange

Topping 2

4 tbsps crème fraîche 4 tbsps toasted coconut flakes

4 to 5 strawberri­es, sliced

Topping 3

4 tbsps quark

3 tbsps toasted almond flakes or hazelnuts or walnuts

3 tbsps fresh berries

Icing sugar, to dust Sprigs of mint, to garnish

Method

1 To make the wraps, spoon the flours, salt, pinch of nutmeg and allspice and caster sugar in a bowl.

2 Whisk the egg, milk and water in a jug. Pour the egg mixture into the flour and whisk to form a smooth thin batter. You may need to add a little more water. Leave to stand for about 10 minutes before using. If it is too thick (and often it will be), add a little more water and stir well.

3 To cook the wraps, pour the batter with a ladle onto a non-stick frying pan with a little oil over a medium heat. Cook for about 1½ minutes before turning over onto the other side for about 30 to 40 seconds. Slide onto a warm plate and keep warm with pieces of parchment to separate them.

4 To serve, arrange the wraps on a board or tray and add toppings as desired. Garnish with mint leaves and dust with icing sugar if you like.
