Recipe type: Canapes
Serves: 12
Ingredients
  • FOR THE Lemon Garlic Chicken
  • 1 Chicken
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1 lemon
  • salt pepper
  • 50 ml sherry
  • Celery sticks
  • FOR THE LACE PANCAKE
  • 1 cup milk
  • ½ cup water
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon butter
Instructions
  1. FOR THE CHICKEN
  2. Make a marinade of the crushed garlic, salt, pepper, juice of 1 lemon and 50ml sherry. Put the chicken and the marinade into a bag and leave for 1 hour .
  3. Use the skin of the lemon to stuff the chicken.
  4. Heat the oven to 180ºC.
  5. Discard the marinade and put the chicken in a roasting pan with a few tablespoons oil and roast for 1hour - 1½ hours until the skin is browned and the chicken cooked through. Allow to cool.
  6. Once cooled , shred the chicken with the crispy skin, and put into the juices from the pan to get all the flavour into the shredded chicken. It is now ready to be put into the pancakes.
  7. Cut the celery into thin julienne strips .
  8. While the chicken is roasting make the pancakes.
  9. FOR THE PANCAKE
  10. Pour the milk and water into a bowl, break in the eggs and whisk.
  11. Add the sifted dry ingredients and sugar and continue to whisk until smooth.
  12. Heat a pancake pan with 1 Tablespoon butter. Once the butter has melted pour the excess into the pancake mix and whisk. Leave enough butter in the pan just to coat the bottom.
  13. Put the mixture into a squeeze bottle (cheap tomato sauce plastic bottle). Squeeze the mixture into the pan around the edge and then make a pattern of your choice inside the circle. You need to do this quickly so that the batter all cooks evenly.
  14. With a spatula turn the pancake over and allow to cook on the other side.
  15. If you dont want to make lace pancakes just pour enough mixture into the pan and rotate the pan so that the mixture coats the whole bottom surface. Turn when browned on the one side and cook the other side.
  16. As each pancake is made, place on a piece of greaseproof paper and cover with another. They can be stacked this way .
  17. Layer a few strips of celery and chicken onto the pancake and roll. Delicious and ready to dip into your favourite dipping sauce or to eat as is.
