Bringing seasonal citrus into the mix with a simple syrup is so worth it. It’s important to rest your pancake batter for the silkiest texture. If you’re hosting, keep the pancakes warm under a tea towel so everyone can sit down and enjoy their breakfast together.
- Step 1To make the crepe batter, add the flour and salt into a mixing bowl. Crack in the eggs then beat well, then pour in half of the 250ml milk. Whisk until there are no lumps and you have a smooth batter, then add the other 125ml of the milk. Melt the butter in a small pan or in a ramekin in the microwave on medium, then pour that in and whisk again. Rest the batter at room temperature for at least 1 hour.
- Step 2Zest one orange, and juice it, then juice the two remaining oranges (juice of 3 oranges in total). To make the blood orange sauce, add the sugar, orange juice and zest into a small saucepan. Heat up until the sugar dissolves, then stir and add the butter in chunks, whisking constantly to emulsify into the sauce. Add in your orange slices and the pinch of salt, then gently reduce the sauce for a few minutes to thicken.
- Step 3Heat a frying pan on a medium heat. Loosen your batter with the remaining 100ml milk and whisk well. Add a small knob of butter and brush it across the surface with some kitchen towel, then when the pan is hot, pour in enough batter to just coat the pan then move the batter around to the edges of the pan by picking up the pan and swirling and tilting your wrist. Cook for 40-45 seconds then flip and cook for 30 seconds more until golden brown. Repeat until you have run out of the batter, and keep the pancakes on a plate in a pile under a teatowel.
- Step 4Fold your pancakes into triangles, then drizzle over your orange sauce and a little extra butter if desired. Serve with icing sugar if you like.
