Ingredients

  • Sweet Orange Syrup
  • 100 g/ 125ml sugar
  • 15 ml grated orange rind
  • 150 ml freshly squeezed orange juice
  • 100 g margarine
  • 15 ml cornflour
  • For the Egg Free Pancakes
  • 1 cup cake or all purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • cup milk
  • 2 teaspoons oil
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla essence optional

Instructions

  • Start by making the orange sauce, by heating on medium heat sugar, orange rind, freshly squeezed orange juice and margarine in a pot.
  • Stir constantly until the sugar has dissolved, about 4 minutes. Add about a ¼ cup of this heated mixture to the cornflour and mix well. Pour it back into the pot and bring to the boil.Whisk continuously,for about 2 minutes until thick and smooth.
  • The reason for not adding the cornflour directly to the pot is that,it will not dissolve well and will form lumps in the sauce. Adding a small amount, like a ¼ cup of the heated mixture however, forms a smooth paste and when this is added back to the pot, creates a smooth, lump free sauce.
  • Next, make the pancake batter, by sifting 1 cup of cake or all purpose flour and a ¼ teaspoon of baking powder into a bowl. Stir in ¼ cup of sugar. Make a well in the center and add 10ml/2 teaspoons of canola or sunflower oil and 1¼ cups of milk. You could add in ¼ teaspoon of vanilla essence if you prefer. Whisk or beat well with a blender until smooth.
  • You can either use cooking spray or lightly oil a heavy based pan. Using a ladle or spoon, pour out the batter into the pan.
  • Spread it into a circle with the back of the ladle or spoon.
  • Flip the pancake when you see little bubbles forming on the surface.
  • Cook until lightly browned on each side.
  • Cook for about a minute on each side.
  • Drizzle the warm sauce over the cooked pancakes and add a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar or serve with a scoop of ice cream.
