Hello Kent,
Below is what I found.
Phaed
Danish Pancakes - Pandekager
4 large eggs, separated
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup beer
2 cups milk
1 tablespoon melted butter
Strawberry preserves
In mixing bowl beat egg white until stiff; set aside.
In another mixing bowl, beat egg yolks until thick and lemon-colored,
add flour and mix well. Add beer, milk, salt and butter and beat until
smooth. Carefully fold in egg whites.
Pour a little batter in 6-inch greased skillet. Rotate skillet to spread
batter over surface.
Brown on both sides. Repeat until all batter is used. Serve hot with
strawberry preserves. Makes about 18 pancakes.

Easy Danish Pancakes
(Nemme Pandekager) Denne side på dansk
Ingredients:
125 g white flour
300 ml milk
2 eggs
1/4 tsp salt
30 g oil
Method:
Mix the ingredients making sure there are no lumps in the batter.
Mixing in the oil makes sure the batter is self-greasing so that
greasing the pan is only necessary when baking the first pancake.
Bake the pancakes evenly until golden brown on both sides.
The texture will be dry and tender because no grease in used
directly on the pan.
Serve with a spicy rice and meat mix, drizzled with a little cheese,
or with ice cream, jam or sugar for a lovely dessert.

Hello Andy,
I cannot find a recipe from Sainsbury's. However, below is another one or two.
Phaed
Fillet Of Lamb En Croute
1 servings
2 Neck fillets of lamb
6 Pancakes; (fairly thick --10cm; diameter)
2 oz Pate; cut into small; pieces
10 oz Chopped mushrooms
Puff pastry
Vegetable oil
2 Eggs; beaten
Roll the pastry into two large squares about 30cm square. In order to fold
the pastry neatly around the lamb fillets, you need to make some
preliminary cuts in it. Place a knife at one corner as if to cut across
diagonally to its opposite but don't. Move the knife 6cm along the edge of
the square and then cut 8cm in on the diagonal angle. Make a similar cut at
the other corner on the same side. This should have made an incomplete
triangle. Repeat this on the opposite side of the square.
Take the fillets of lamb and gently fry them in a little oil to seal them.
Remove them from the heat and set aside to cool a little. Once cooled,
season with salt and pepper.
Brush some beaten egg onto one of the pastry squares and place two of the
pancakes in the middle side by side but slightly overlapping. Spoon some of
the chopped mushrooms and pate onto the pancakes and place a fillet of lamb
on top. Pack some more of the mushrooms and pate around the fillet.
With the fillet of lamb lengthways in front of you, fold one side of the
pastry over the length side and brush with plenty of beaten egg. Fold in
the ends leaving behind flaps where you made your preliminary cuts. Do the
same on the opposite side and you should be left with a triangular flap at
each end of the roll. Brush with more beaten egg, fold the ends over and
make them neat by cutting away any excess pastry if necessary.
Roll over so the folds are on the bottom and reshape a little if necessary.
Brush all over once more with the beaten egg and then make some pricks
along the top to allow steam to escape.
Score diagonals along the top without cutting through the pastry and then
score the other way making criss-crosses.
Place in an oven at 200C for 20-25 minutes.
Serve with new potatoes and French beans.

Loin of lamb en cro–te with shallot/balsamic
Categories: Meats Sauces
Yield: 4 Servings
2 c Beef stock
1 1/4 c Balsamic vinegar
1/2 lb Butter cut into small pieces
8 Shallots; roasted and finely chopped
Salt & Pepper (to taste)
4 Lamb loins (6 oz each) cleaned
1 tb Olive oil
1 Garlic clove
Salt and pepper
2 tb Olive oil
4 Sheets puff pastry
2 Red bell peppers, roasted peeled, seeded, and cut into 1/2" strips
8 oz Feta cheese, crumbled
1 c Cooked spinach; drained
1 Egg; beaten with water
1 tb Water (to beat with egg)
Roasted Shallot Balsamic Vinegar Sauce Loin Of Lamb En Croute
For Roasted Shallot Balsamic Vinegar Sauce: In a medium saucepan place
the beef stock and balsamic vinegar. Heat them on medium high for 10 to
15 minutes, or until the liquid is reduced to 1/4. While stirring constantly,
add the butter pieces one at a time, and whisk them in so that they are well
incorporated. Add the roasted shallots, salt and pepper. Set aside while you
prepare the lamb. Rub the lamb loins with the 1 tablespoon of olive oil and
garlic clove. Sprinkle them with the salt and the pepper. In a heavy skillet
place the 2 tablespoons of olive oil and heat it on medium until it is hot.
Sear the lamb on both sides. Cut the puff pastry sheet so that it is the
length of the lamb loin and 2-1/2 times as wide. Place the lamb in the center
of the sheet. Top the lamb with the roasted peppers, feta cheese, and cooked
spinach. Fold one end of the dough over the lamb. Brush the other side of the
pastry with the egg wash and then fold it over on top of the other pastry end
by 2". Cut off the extra dough and reserve it. Crimp the open ends together
with your fingers. Turn the wrapped lamb over. Make a braid the length of the
lamb with the left-over pastry dough. Brush the top of the dough with the egg
wash and place the braid on top. Preheat the oven to 425øF. Bake the wrapped
lamb for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown. Serve the baked
lamb with the Roasted Shallot Balsamic Vinegar Sauce.

Hello Renee,

30 ml lemon juice
60 ml honey
125 grams toasted almonds.

Place the rind cubes in a preserving pan and cover with cold water.
Bring to the boil and simmer for one hour or until the rind is translucent.
Drain.
Place 750 ml of water in a pan with sugar, cinnamon, lemon, half the lemon

Hi Tina,
Is this it? It doesn't mention nutmeg, but...
Also below are two more non-Internet recipes, but, as you can see, neither of them has
nutmeg, either, and none of the recipes that I found on the Internet had nutmeg.
I think that the nutmeg was an option that was added to the recipe you had in the
seventies. I do not think that authentic Okinawan donuts have nutmeg.
