   Sift flour into a bowl. Make a well in center and add
   egg. Gradually stir in milk and beat well until
   smooth. Stir in cold water and beat well. Pour batter
   into a pitcher.
   
   Heat a little oil in a small skillet and pour off
   excess. Pour a little batter into skillet, swirling
   skillet to spread batter evenly over bottom to make a
   thin coating. Sook until underside is golden, then
   turn pancake out of pan (do not cook other side).
   Repeat with remaining batter, adding more oil pan each
   time, to make 8 pancakes.
   
   Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a saucepan. Add onion,
   ground beef, carrots, parsnip and curry powder. Cook
   gently 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Add tomato
   paste and mix well. Blend cornstarch with a little
   stock. Add remaining stock to ground beef mixture and
   bring to a boil. Add cornstarch mixture and cook 2
   minutes, stirring constantly. Simmer mixture 10
   minutes.
   
   Lay pancakes, cooked-sides up, on a flat surface.
   Spread filling in a 2 horizontal lines across center
   to within 1-1/2 of side edges. Fold these side edges
   over mixture and then fold remaining top and bottom
   edges over to cover filling. Brush with egg and fold
   pancakes in half. Chill 1 hour.
   
   Half fill a deep fat fryer or saucepan with oil; heat
   to 350'F. (175'C.) or until a 1/2 bread cube browns
   in 40 seconds. Fry folded pancakes, 4 at a time, 2-3
   minutes or until golden brown and heated through.
   Drain on paper towels. Garnish with carrot strip, if
   desired, and serve hot.
