Pancakes and orange pancake sauce

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   Ingredients

2. STEP 2

   

   For the sauce: remove the zest from 1 orange (don’t touch the white part) and add to the sugar

3. STEP 3

   

   Squeeze the juice from the oranges (I got 200 ml of juice) and add to the sugar and zest. Stir until sugar dissolves

4. STEP 4

   

   Lightly beat the eggs with a fork (just mix the white and yolk, without forming foam) and add to the mixture. Leave for about 20 minutes so that the zest releases its aroma.

5. STEP 5

   

   Strain the mixture, add butter and cook over medium heat until thickened (boil the mixture, it will not curdle!) Leave the finished sauce to cool

6. STEP 6

   

   For pancakes: sift the flour, add sugar and a pinch of salt, mix

7. STEP 7

   

   Make a well in the center of the flour mixture, crack the egg into it and pour in a quarter of the milk.

8. STEP 8

   

   Stir well, you get a thick dough, now add vanilla tincture to it

9. STEP 9

   

   and the remaining milk, stir until smooth

10. STEP 10

    

    (I always knead pancake dough in this way, and you won’t be afraid of any lumps of flour). Now the dough should be allowed to stand for at least 15-20 minutes. During this time, the flour in the dough will swell; if the dough becomes too dense, add a little more milk or water (I added 50 ml). Melt butter and add to dough

11. STEP 11

    

    Now our pancakes can be fried. I don’t know why, but the most delicious pancakes are made in a cast iron frying pan. So, warm up the frying pan well (this is very important!), for the first pancake I always grease the pan with a little vegetable oil, and then fry all the rest without it. Fold the finished pancakes into an envelope and serve with sauce! (I added a few more berries and lightly sprinkled with powdered sugar). Bon appetit!

While I was reading the description of making pancakes, I wanted to eat. And believe it or not, I really wanted pancakes, although it’s somehow a little late to prepare them, I’ll wait until the day and cook =) I really liked the description of how to make the dough without lumps, I used to usually beat the dough with a mixer and there were never any lumps, but now the mixer broke down and it didn’t work out so that there were no lumps, they usually were... I’ll try to cook according to a clear description, I hope it will work out... I didn’t know about the cast iron frying pan, I use a special frying pan for cooking pancakes!

Everyone loves pancakes, many even take part in their preparation with pleasure. And there are a great many recipes! But today I have a discovery! I learned a lot of new information in one recipe! First of all, orange sauce! Fantastic! The combination of orange and eggs? I just can’t get past this! I will definitely try it! I think this sauce could go well with any dessert! And another news for me is that in the dough

Irisha, what an interesting sauce recipe. I never thought that eggs could be mixed with orange juice and then boiled. It’s a pity, there’s still a whole month before the end of Lent, otherwise I would have cooked it tomorrow morning. No problem, you'll have to wait a little.

Thanks everyone for your attention to the recipe! Olga, this sauce is a variation of custard, only orange juice is used instead of milk, it turns out very tasty and aromatic

Very interesting idea with orange juice sauce! In some ways it is similar to the French Crepe Suzette, but simpler. I was just looking for an original version for Maslenitsa, thank you!
