8 pancakes
- Serves:
- 4
ingredients
- 125 g plain flour
- 6 tablespoons soft light brown sugar
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 250 ml milk
- 50 g butter
- 1 tablespoon orange liqueur (optional) or 1 tablespoon rum (optional)
- 60 g plain chocolate chips
- icing sugar, to dust
directions
- Sift the flour into a bowl, add the sugar and salt, make a well in the centre and add the egg and egg yolk; beat together until the flour is mixed in, gradually add the milk, then strain through a fine sieve.
- Melt half the butter and stir it into the batter. Add the orange liqueur or rum (if using) and leave the batter to stand for 1 hour.
- Melt a little of the remaining butter into a non-stick pan and spoon 1/8 of the batter into the pan, cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until almost cooked.
- Sprinkle a few chocolate chips over the pancake. When the pancake starts to melt, fold the pancake into quarters, and transfer it to a warm serving plate and keep warm while you cook the remaining pancakes.
- Dust the pancakes with icing sugar and serve with cream, yoghurt or icecream and your choice of berries or other fruit.

This is a great, sweet, rich breakfast treat! I can see this being used as dessert as well. I ran out of patience and only let my batter sit for 45 minutes (instead of 1 hour) and my pancakes came out nice and fluffy. I served mine with sweetened sour cream. With the chocolate this is probably best saved as a special occasion breakfast, but the pancakes are really good without the chocolate too! Thanks for posting this recipe!

Made for zaar tag. This makes a thin pancake. I think there may be something missing, maybe some baking powder or more flour I'm not sure. The batter looked too watery to me, but I cooked it anyway without changing the ingredients and it made a really thin pancake. Go ahead and try it anyway, everyone's tastes are different!

July 2008 update: VERY happy to be back on Zaar after about a two year absence due to having had no internet connection at home, and having been too unwell for a time so that getting re-connected wasn't even a priority!

<br>And really looking forward to getting back into the Zaar world and connecting again with the many wonderful people I knew before, and new people, of course!
