Pressure to stuff Indian pancake (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

crepe

'pancake' is the definition.
(crepe is a kind of pancake)

'pressure to stuff indian' is the wordplay.
'pressure' becomes 'p' (abbreviation).
'to stuff' is an insertion indicator.
'indian' becomes 'cree' (Cree is an example).
'p' going within 'cree' is 'CREPE'.

(Other definitions for crepe that I've seen before include "Crinkly fabric and French pancake" , "Crinkled paper or fabric" , "Crinkly material" , "French dish" , "Crinkled fabric - black armband - thin pancake" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
