Ingredients
For the Pancakes:
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 egg
• ¾ cup milk
• 1 tablespoon melted butter or oil
For the Filling:
• 6 slices turkey breast (deli-style)
• 4 tablespoons cream cheese or hummus
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
• ½ cup baby spinach or lettuce
• ½ cup shredded carrots or sliced cucumbers
• 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for a touch of sweetness)
Instructions
Make the Pancakes:
1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
2. In another bowl, beat the egg, then add milk and melted butter.
3. Gradually combine wet ingredients with dry ingredients, stirring until smooth.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it. Pour small amounts of batter (about ¼ cup per pancake) and cook for 1–2 minutes per side until golden brown. Let them cool.
Assemble the Rollups:
5. Spread a thin layer of cream cheese (or hummus) over each pancake. Add a small amount of Dijon mustard if using.
6. Lay turkey slices on top, followed by spinach or lettuce and shredded carrots or cucumbers.
7. Drizzle a little honey for sweetness (optional).
8. Gently roll up each pancake, securing with a toothpick if needed.
9. Slice in half diagonally and serve!

• Use whole wheat or gluten-free flour for a healthier version.
• Substitute turkey with ham, chicken, or smoked salmon for variety.
• Add shredded cheese or avocado for extra creaminess.
• These rollups can be made ahead and stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
