INGREDIENTS

for the pancakes

• 3 cups self raising flour or 3 cups plain flour + 1 tbs baking powder

• 500 g plain cream cheese

• 2 tbs lemon juice
• 4 egg yolks

for baking

• 400 g tin / 1 cup of evaporated milk
• 3 – 4 tbs icing sugar
• zest of 2 oranges

for the orange sauce

• juice of 2 oranges

EQUIPMENT

• non-stick frying pan
• spatula to turn the pancake

• large and small mixing bowl
• deeper baking tray or dish
• small pot to make sauce

METHOD

1. In a large bowl mix all ingredients for pancakes, pour 125 ml / ½ cup pancake mixture on hot non-stick frying pan and swirl the  pan until pancake mixture cover the whole bottom evenly, fry them on both sides without any extra oil. Continue until all pancakes are done.
2. In meantime prepare feeling combining in a small mixing bowl cream cheese, lemon juice and sugar. Leave aside.
3. Combine also evaporated milk with sugar.
4. Once all pancakes are ready top each with a little bit of filling and spread evenly, roll pancake and place all of them in the baking dish.
5. Pour over evaporated milk and sprinkle with orange zest.
6. Bake in the oven preheated to 180°C (356°F) for about 15 minutes.
7. In the last moment prepare the sauce: squeeze the juice out of 2 previously “zested” oranges, reduce liquid in a small pot together with butter until it has right consistence.
8. When pancakes are baked share them to the plates and drizzle with some orange sauce.
9. Serve with some fresh sliced oranges.

Makes about 15 pancakes, allow 2 – 3 per serving.

NOTES

Just to be on a safe side brush frying pan with little bit of oil before starting to fry, just this one time.
