Join edges with a bit of melted butter.

Stage 14 - 30 min.

Put the pannequet with join on bottom.

Do this with all the mix, aiming to get two pannequets per guest.

Stage 15 - 6 min.

Cook pannequets on both sides in a frying pan with a little oil, until golden brown.

Serve hot, without waiting.

Remarks

This recipe is intended as a main course with two pannequets per guest, but you can turn it into a starter by makeing smaller pannequets (half size).

If you don't have chicken stock to cook the rice, use water instead but it's less tasty. Same goes for the seeds: if you don't have flax seeds use sesame, poppy or anything else you like.
