1 c All-purpose flour 1 Egg 2/3 c Milk 2/3 c Cold water 5 tb Corn oil 1 Onion, chopped 8 oz Lean ground bbef 2 Carrots, grated 1 Parsnip, grated 2 ts Curry Powder 1 tb Tomato paste 2 ts Cornstarch 2/3 c Beef stock 1 Egg, beaten Vegetable oil 4 deep frying Carrot strip (opt)
Sift flour into a bowl. Make a well in center and add egg. Gradually stir
in milk and beat well until smooth. Stir in cold water and beat well. Pour
batter into a pitcher.
Heat a little oil in a small skillet and pour off excess. Pour a little
batter into skillet, swirling skillet to spread batter evenly over bottom
to make a thin coating. Sook until underside is golden, then turn pancake
out of pan (do not cook other side). Repeat with remaining batter, adding
more oil pan each time, to make 8 pancakes.
Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a saucepan. Add onion, ground beef, carrots,
parsnip and curry powder. Cook gently 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Add
tomato paste and mix well. Blend cornstarch with a little stock. Add
remaining stock to ground beef mixture and bring to a boil. Add cornstarch
mixture and cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Simmer mixture 10 minutes.
Lay pancakes, cooked-sides up, on a flat surface. Spread filling in a 2″
horizontal lines across center to within 1-1/2″ of side edges. Fold these
side edges over mixture and then fold remaining top and bottom edges over
to cover filling. Brush with egg and fold pancakes in half. Chill 1 hour.
Half fill a deep fat fryer or saucepan with oil; heat to 350F. (175C.) or
until a 1/2″ bread cube browns in 40 seconds. Fry folded pancakes, 4 at a
time, 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and heated through. Drain on paper
towels. Garnish with carrot strip, if desired, and serve hot.
