This is a recipe from an old 1970's cookbook that myself and my oldest Son still cook from. They are really great and very easy. I included the one hour resting time in the preparation time. Enjoy! Ingredients:
4 eggs |
1/2 cup orange juice (fresh squeezed is best) |
1/2 cup 1% low-fat milk |
1 1/2 cups plain flour |
1 1/4 tablespoons sugar |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 1/4 tablespoons vegetable oil |
1 1/2 teaspoons orange zest |
Directions:
1. Beat the eggs with orange juice and milk, with a whisk or in an electric blender. (We always use the blender and it's easy to pour from).
2. Sift together the flour, sugar and salt and gradually add to the egg mixture.
3. Add the vegetable oil and mix well.
4. If beating by hand, strain the mixture through a sieve to remove any lumps.
5. Stir in the orange zest and allow mixture to stand for at least an hour before using (my kids can't do that!). If the batter is too thick, add a little milk and mix.
6. Pour one or two tablespoons of the batter in the centre of a hot, nonstick frying pan. Tilt to spread the batter to the edges of the pan. Cook until the top is dry. Turn over and cook the other side for about 15 seconds. Don't worry if the first couple aren't perfect - those are the trial ones for me!
7. You can roll these with fruit inside and top with whipped cream. I have a friend who just likes to eat these with a bit of powdered (confectioner's) sugar on them. Be adventuresome and try it with whatever sounds good with orange!
