Description
Blanched mandarin orange segments soaked in hot liqueur will release maximum aroma and flavor. It's best to use Moroccan or Spanish oranges, which have a thick skin that's easy to peel. They are sweeter.
Ingredients
- Wheat Flour - 7.1 oz
- Chicken Egg - 2 pieces
- Milk - 13 fl oz
- Sugar - 1½ spoons
- Oranges - 3 pieces
- Mandarins - 4 pieces
- Cointreau - 4 spoons
- Butter - 2.1 oz
- Sparkling water - 2 fl oz
- Olive Oil - 1 tablespoon
- Salt - a pinch
Step by Step guide
Step 1
For the batter, sift the flour through a fine sieve. Beat the eggs. Add half a tablespoon of sugar, salt, and pour in room temperature milk. If you prefer lighter pancakes, you can replace half of the milk with water, such as sparkling water.
Step 2
Pour the resulting mixture into the flour, mix well, and gradually add half a tablespoon of melted butter in a thin stream. Then, the dough should rest for a couple of hours at room temperature. Just before frying, dilute it with sparkling water (50–70 ml) to achieve the desired consistency.
Step 3
Zest one orange. Squeeze the juice from all the oranges. Cut the zest into thin strips.
Step 4
Add one and a half tablespoons of liqueur (you can use Grand Marnier or Curaçao instead of Cointreau) and three tablespoons of orange juice to the batter, and mix well.
Step 5
Fry the pancakes in refined olive oil, trying to make them as thin as possible.
Step 6
Pour the remaining orange juice into a deep skillet, add the remaining butter and sugar, along with a tablespoon of liqueur. Heat over very low heat, add the zest, and cook for a quarter of an hour, stirring constantly. Add the mandarin segments to the sauce. Gently shake the skillet to warm the segments. Transfer them to a separate plate.
Step 7
Dip the pancakes one by one into the pan with the sauce, fold them into quarters, return them to the pan, and heat through.
Step 8
Place the pancakes on warmed plates (two per serving) and garnish with orange segments. In the skillet, add the remaining liqueur, stir, and drizzle this sauce over the pancakes and orange segments.
