Maltese inspired pancakes for Shrove Tuesday

Total time
 
I have made wholemeal pancakes for this dish. The topping is a Maltese recipe from my cousin in Malta. She doesn't have a name for it but it was passed down from her mum. I have fried the egg but she usually mixes 2 beaten eggs into the other fried ingredients.
