Pancakes and orange sauce for pancakes

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Ingredients

2. Step 2:

   

   For the sauce: remove the zest from the 1st orange (do not 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 it to the sugar with zest. Stir until the sugar dissolves

4. Step 4:

   

   Beat the eggs lightly with a fork (just mix the protein and yolk, without foam formation) and add to the mixture. We leave it for 20 minutes, so that the zest would give its flavor

5. Step 5:

   

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

6. Step 6:

   

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

8. Step 7:

   

   In the center of the flour mixture, make a hole, drive an egg into it and pour in a fourth of the milk

9. Step 8:

   

   Stir well, it turns out a thick dough, now add vanilla tincture to it

10. Step 9:

    

    And the remaining milk, stir until smooth

11. Step 10:

    

    (I always knead the dough for pancakes in this way, and you are not 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 has become too dense, add a little more milk or water (I added 50 ml). Melt the butter and add it to the dough

12. Step 11:

    

    Now our pancakes can be fried. I don't know why, but the most delicious pancakes are made in a cast-iron pan. So, we heat up the pan well (this is very important!), for the first pancake, I always lubricate the pan with vegetable oil quite a bit, and then fry all the others without it. We fold the finished pancakes in an envelope and serve them to the table with sauce! (I added some more berries and lightly sprinkled with powdered sugar). Bon appetit!
