EGG ROLLS

1 cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
4 eggs, beaten
1 cup water
oil for frying
Filling (recipe follows)
dry mustard and water (for serving)

Sift flour and salt into a bowl. Save 2 tablespoons beaten egg and add rest to flour, beating until 'smooth. Gradually add water and mix well.

Lightly grease a 7-inch skillet. Pour in just enough batter to cover bottom of pan. Cook over medium heat until batter is set. Remove and cool. Repeat until all batter is used. You should have 12 pancakes.

Divide Filling into 12 even portions and place a mound in the center of each pancake. Roll tightly, folding sides over as you go, moistening the edges with the reserved beaten egg and sealing.

Serve hot with dry mustard mixed to a paste with a little water.
