Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Pour in a ladle of batter and swirl it around the pan to make a thin pancake. Cook until the edges start to curl up. Use a spatula to flip the pancake and cook the other side until golden brown. Repeat until all the batter is used up.
4. Fill the Wrappers
Take one wrapper and place a spoonful of the filling on one end. Add grated cheese if desired. Fold the wrapper over the filling to make a triangle. Fold the sides inwards to make a neat package. Roll the package in bread crumbs to coat the outside.
