Recipe name: Savoury Sardine Pancakes
Recipe by: J.M.Gan, Singapore
History: I was pottering around the kitchen, feeling munchy for a snack, I decided to make do with the few ingredients I had in the kitchen. This pancake recipe is potato based, so it should literally melt in your mouth.
Description: Low fat snack for any time
Preparation time: 1/2 hour. Preparation time plus cooking 1 hour
Serves: About 12 pancakes, enough for 4 people
Amount/Measure/Ingredient:

half a carrot, shredded
one medium sized potato, boiled, peeled and mashed
half an onion, chopped finely
2 eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons plain flour
250 gm tin of sardines packed in tomato sauce, mashed with a fork
1/4 cup milk
1 spicy chili (optional)
salt and pepper to taste (about 1/4 teaspoon salt)
Preparation:

Mix well all of the ingredients in a large bowl, adding in the tomato sauce that comes with the sardines. The texture should be resemble that of ketchup. If it is too dry, add more milk. 
Heat a flat non stick pan on medium, spray it with a thin film of oil. Measure out four tablespoons of the pancake mix. It should take a minute for the pancake to be cooked on the bottom side. Flip it over when the base is crisp enough to allow you to do so, and cook for another minute. The color should be a nice dark brown, with the inside the color of mashed potato. Serve immediately.
