Hosting East German, bit a kind of pancake (7)
I believe the answer is:
tostada
'kind of pancake' is the definition.
(I know that tostada is a type of tortilla)
'hosting east german bit a' is the wordplay.
'hosting' is an insertion indicator (inserted letters are welcomed in or hosted).
'east german' becomes 'ost' ('east' in German).
'bit' becomes 'tad' (both can mean a small amount).
'ost' inserted within 'tad' is 'tostad'.
'tostad'+'a'='TOSTADA'
(Other definitions for tostada that I've seen before include "Crisp 15 down" , "spicy food" , "Mexican topped pancake" , "Mexican food" .)
