method
1. Put the cod and 1/4 pint (150 ml) of the milk into a saucepan and simmer for about 5 minutes until the fish flakes. Drain and reserve the liquid.
2. Simmer the mushrooms in the same liquid for about 3 minutes. Drain and reserve the liquid again. Rinse the pan, add the butter and melt. Add the flour and cook for a minute or two, stirring continuously. Gradually add the reserved liquid and remaining 1/4 pint (150 ml) milk and bring to the boil, stirring until the sauce thickens. Add the chopped anchovies and black pepper and mix well. Allow to cool. Flake fish into a medium-sized bowl, removing any bones. Add the mushrooms, then the sauce.
3. Meanwhile, heat the oven to 425°F (220°C) gas mark 7. When the fish mixture is cool, lay out pancakes and divide the mixture equally between them and season lightly. Roll up pancakes and place in an ovenproof dish.
4. To serve, brush with a little melted butter and heat through in the oven for about 20 - 30 minutes until crispy.
