10 fl ozs (300 ml) skimmed milk

Sift the flour into a bowl and add the egg, gradually beat in the milk and mix until you have a smooth batter. Add the Chives.
Prepare a 7 or 8 inch pan suitable for making pancakes. If you have a
Galette or Crepe Pan so much the better.

Cook the leeks in the margarine until soft, then add the sliced mushrooms. After a couple of minutes stir in the parsley and sunflower seeds. Add seasoning if you wish.
Lay the pancake out and divide the filling amongst them and then roll them up. Place in a shallow ovenproof dish which has been lightly greased, unless it is non-stick.
Put the Watercress, capers half the olive oil and the anchovy fillets if you are using them into a blender and process until smooth. Gradually add the rest of the oil, the lemon juice and the garlic.
Add the vegetable stock a little at a time until you have a smooth pouring consistency to your sauce. Warm through gently in a saucepan.
Pour the sauce over the prepared pancakes and sprinkle the cheeses on top.
Bake at 190C (375F)Gas mark 5 for about 20 minutes until it is golden brown.
