Pancakes with Citrus Sauce
Ingredients
110 gm Plain flour
� tsp Salt
2 Egg(s)
280 ml Milk
2 Tbsp Vegetable oil
Butter
Sauce
140 ml Orange juice
1 Orange zest
2 Lemon(s), juice and zest
85 gm Butter
110 gm Granulated white sugar
3 Tbsp Brandy
Method
To make the pancake batter, sift flour and salt into a bowl. Make a well in the centre and add the eggs. Whisk, adding milk gradually to make a smooth batter. Add oil and whisk. Make the pancakes (using the butter) and fold into quarters as they are ready. Put into a heatproof dish (pyrex with enough depth for the sauce).
To make the sauce, melt the sugar and butter and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the fruit juices and zest and bring up to simmering point. Add the alcohol and simmer for 3 minutes.
Pour juice over the pancakes and put the dish into moderate oven (say 150�C) for 10 minutes before serving.
Pancakes and sauce can be made in advance. Just reheat the sauce before pouring over the pancakes.
Notes
You can use whisky instead of brandy.
If the lemons are not very juicy, use more.
