Method
-
Preheat oven to 200°C. Line an oven tray with baking paper. Put pancetta in a single layer on prepared tray. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden and crisp.
-
Meanwhile, sift flour into a large bowl. Add sugar and salt, then stir to combine. In a large jug, whisk together milk, egg and oil. Make a well in centre of flour mixture and add milk mixture. Slowly stir from centre, gradually mixing in more flour as you go until a smooth batter forms. Strain mixture through a fine sieve into a large jug.
-
Brush a large 20cm non-stick frying pan with extra oil and heat over a medium heat. Pour 2 Tbsp of the batter into pan, immediately swirling pan so batter spreads to create a 15cm crepe of even thickness. Sprinkle over a pinch of the black pepper. Cook for 30 seconds or until bottom of crepe is light brown. Flip and cook for 10 seconds, then set aside on a plate. Cover with foil to keep warm. Repeat process with remaining batter, oiling pan between each crepe, to make a total of 12 crepes.
-
Meanwhile, to make dressing, put all ingredients in a small lidded jar and season, then shake well until combined.

Put pear in a large bowl and pour over dressing. Toss to coat. Break pancetta into shards. Fold each crepe in half, then roll up to form a cone shape. Divide pancetta, pear, cheese and rocket among cones. Arrange in a serving bowl and scatter over hazelnut to serve.
