Mastered pancakes? Then try this classic French dish made with oranges and Cointreau.
Make the master batter recipe, adding 1 teaspoon icing sugar and the grated zest of 1/2 orange. Rest and cook as before. Fold the pancakes into eighths or quarters, depending on their size, and set aside. Make the sauce by dissolving 40g caster sugar in a frying pan. Increase the heat and cook until golden. Add 40g butter and the juice of 2 small oranges and cook until the sauce is simmering. Stir in 2 tablespoons Cointreau. Return the folded pancakes to the pan and pour over 2 tablespoons brandy. Flambé by carefully igniting the sauce with a long taper. Remove from the heat while the flames die down. Divide the pancakes and sauce between plates. Scatter with thin strips of orange zest and serve with crème fraîche.
