Flija Layered Pancake / Crepe

Steps

1. 1
   Step 1:

   Mix the flour, water, and salt until all lumps are dissolved. The batter should be thick but still pourable; add a little extra water if needed. Set aside.

2. 2
   Step 2:

   Mix the melted butter, vegetable oil, and Greek yogurt until smooth and lump-free. The filling should be runny. For a richer filling, use 3 tablespoons clotted cream instead of the yogurt, or mix the butter with 500ml sour cream in place of the oil and yogurt.

3. 3
   Step 3:

   Let the batter filling rest for 10 minutes, then mix it well again. It should have a custard-like consistency. Set aside.

   10 min
4. 4
   Step 4:

   Preheat the grill to a medium setting. Rub olive oil over the base of a large, deep baking tray or pie pan.

5. 5
   Step 5:

   Using a squeeze bottle or ladle, make the first layer with the flour batter. Do not pour it directly, as it will be too thick; make a star pattern, leaving triangles between the lines of batter.

6. 6
   Step 6:

   Place under the grill until golden brown, about 3 to 5 minutes.

   3–5 min
7. 7
   Step 7:

   Remove the pan from the grill. Using a brush or the back of a spoon, spread a layer of batter filling over the whole pan, including both battered and unbattered areas.

8. 8
   Step 8:

   Add another layer of flour batter in the same star pattern, placing the batter lines through the gaps left by the previous layer and leaving the same triangle shapes between each line.

9. 9
   Step 9:

   Grill until golden brown, about 3 to 5 minutes.

   3–5 min
10. 10
    Step 10:

    Repeat the layering process until all the mixture has been used, making sure each triangle gap is filled with flour batter on every layer. This will take around 2 hours.

    Step 11:

    After every couple of layers, make one layer solely to fill any spaces or large gaps that may have appeared between the batter stars.
