Method:

1. Combine the flour and corn-flour in a large bowl. Whisk together the eggs, water, milk and sugar in a separate bowl. Make a well in the centre of the flour and gradually add the egg mixture, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon to form a smooth batter.

2. Heat the oil in a frying pan and add 2 tablespoons of batter. Swirl the pan gently to form a round pancake. Cook over medium heat for 2 minutes or until crisp and golden underneath. Turn over and cook the other side for 10 seconds only. Transfer to a plate and place in a low oven to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.

3. Using a Chinese cleaver or large sharp knife, remove the duck drumstick. Chop along the length of the remaining duck to make 2 cm long pieces, discarding the bone when finished. Remove the skin and bone from the drumstick and chop the flesh into even, thin slices.

4. Place heaped tablespoons of meat and skin on each pancake; top with the combined hoi sin sauce and wine, then sprinkle with shredded spring onions. Roll up and serve immediately.

Peking ducks are available from Chinese butchers. Some supermarkets have sections where you can buy roasted ducks, or use Chinese barbecue pork instead.
