If you are looking for a quick and elegant dessert, pancakes with orange sauce are the perfect choice. These fine, slightly fluffy pancakes harmoniously blend with a fresh orange sauce, bringing a touch of sunshine in every bite. Here’s how to prepare this simple and tasty dessert, step by step.

Ingredients

For pancakes:
- 100 g flour
- 1 egg
- 100 ml milk
- 100 ml sparkling water
- 1 pinch of salt
- 50 ml oil
- 1 sachet of vanilla sugar

For the orange sauce:
- 1 orange (preferably organic for a more intense flavor)
- 1/2 lemon
- Juice and zest from 1 orange
- 50 g sugar
- 50 g butter
- 5 tablespoons of good quality rum

Preparation

1. Preparing the pancake batter: In a large bowl, whisk the egg with a whisk or mixer, then add the milk, sparkling water, oil, vanilla sugar, salt, and flour. Mix well until you obtain a homogeneous composition with a consistency similar to sour cream. It is important to avoid lumps, so you can use a hand mixer. After you have obtained the batter, refrigerate it for about an hour. This will help the pancakes become fluffier.

2. Preparing the pancakes: Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and grease it with a little oil. Pour a ladle of pancake batter into the pan and spread it evenly, forming a thin layer. Cook the pancake for 1-2 minutes or until the edges turn golden, then flip it with a spatula and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes. Repeat the process until you exhaust all the batter (you should get about 8-10 pancakes).

3. Preparing the orange sauce: In another pan, add the sugar and let it caramelize over medium heat. Watch it closely to avoid burning. When the sugar turns golden, add the butter and stir until completely melted. Add the juice and zest of the orange, as well as the lemon juice, and let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly.

4. Finalizing the sauce: After the sauce has simmered, add the rum and the peeled orange slices. Let them soak in the sauce for 2-3 minutes, turning them to coat well.

5. Assembling: In the orange sauce, place 2 pancakes, turning them on both sides to soak up the delicious flavors. Leave them there for 2-3 minutes, then carefully remove them onto a plate.

Serving

Pancakes with orange sauce are served warm, decorated with whipped cream or ice cream for a refreshing contrast. You can also add a few slices of fresh orange for an attractive look and a burst of flavor.

Useful tips

- Choose organic oranges, as their peel is not chemically treated and adds a more intense flavor to the sauce.
- You can replace the rum with orange juice for a non-alcoholic version, perfect for kids.
- If you want a thicker sauce, you can add a little flour to the caramelized sugar, mixing well to avoid lumps.

These pancakes with orange sauce are not just a special dessert but also a perfect way to bring a touch of joy to any meal. Prepare them with love and enjoy every bite!
