Prince Charlie's Pancakes
- Ready In:
- 15mins
- Ingredients:
- 10
- Yields:
-
8 pancakes
- Serves:
- 4
ingredients
- 4 ounces all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 1⁄4 cups milk
- 2 tablespoons shortening
- 6 tablespoons butter
- 1⁄2 cup caster sugar
- 2 tablespoons drambuie
- 3 oranges, Grated rind and juice
- 2 lemons, Grated rind and juice
- 1 pinch salt
directions
- Sift the flour and salt into a bowl and make a hollow in the centre. Stir in the beaten eggs and half the milk and beat until you have a smooth batter. Then slowly stir in the other half of the milk.
- Melt a little lard in an 8 inch (20cm) frying pan (skillet). Pour in enough batter to cover the base of the pan, swirling the pan so that it becomes evenly coated. Fry (sauté) for a few minutes until bubbles appear on the surface. Turn the pancakes over and cook the other side. Then slide on to a tea towel (dish cloth) and keep warm. Make more pancakes in the same way until the batter is used up (there should be enough for about eight pancakes).
- Melt the butter (or margarine) in another frying pan (skillet), then stir in the sugar and cook for one minute. Add the grated rind and juice of the oranges and lemons and bring to the boil. Then add the Drambuie and simmer gently for three minutes.
- Fold the pancakes into quarters and place in the frying pan. Cook gently for three minutes, spooning the sauce over the top, until heated through. Serve immediately.

I love trying new dishes. For me, food is a way of experiencing the world without leaving my home, and I'm hoping that as my two sons get older that I can convince them to come with me on my culinary adventures.
