Abstract

A pancake type dough skin or wrapper adapted to contain an edible filler which is initially circular or semi-circular in configuration, and which is folded to form a triangular three-dimensional enclosure having closed edges and locking tabs to maintain the shape thereof prior to deep fat or other cooking.

Claims

1. A method of preparing a food product of edible skin type comprising the steps of:

(a) providing a generally circular thin dough pancake;

(b) folding said pancake by forming two opposed overlapping sectors at a pair of spaced parallel fold lines;

(c) commencing at diagonally opposed corners, forming a pair of parallel fold lines each disposed at an angle with respect to an adjacent previously formed fold line;

(d) forming a single fold line interconnecting said second mentioned pair of fold lines at oppositely disposed ends thereof;

(e) folding said pancake along said last mentioned pair and single fold line to form a substantially triangularly shaped enclosure having an opening and a foldable sealing flap adjacent said opening;

(f) filling said enclosure with an edible filler; and

(g) folding said sealing flap over said opening to close the same.

2. In the method of claim 1, the additional steps of:

(h) forming a pair of locking flaps adjacent the ends of said second mentioned pair of fold lines;

(i) folding one of said locking flaps upon said enclosure prior to filling; and

(j) folding the other of said locking flaps over said sealing flap after said sealing flap has been folded to close said opening.

3. A method of preparing a food product of edible skin type comprising the steps of:

(a) providing a generally circular thin dough pancake;

(b) folding said pancake by folding at least one overlapping sector;

(c) commencing at diagonally opposed corners, forming a pair of parallel fold lines each disposed at an angle with respect to an adjacent previously formed fold line;

(d) forming a single fold line interconnecting said second mentioned pair of fold lines at oppositely disposed ends thereof;

(e) folding said pancake along said last mentioned pair and single fold line to form a substantially triangularly shaped enclosure having an opening and a foldable sealing flap adjacent said opening;

(f) filling said enclosure with an edible filler; and

(g) folding said sealing flap over said opening to enclose the same.

4. The method set forth in claim 3 further characterized in said pancake being of full circular configuration prior to folding.

5. The method set forth in claim 3 further characterized in said pancake being of semicircular configuration prior to folding.

6. The product of the method set forth in claim 3.
