Pancakes With Chocolate Orange Sauce Recipes

CHOCOLATE PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt (or whisk well with a whisk). Set aside.
• In a separate medium bowl, whisk together egg and sugar until well combined. Add milk, oil (or melted butter), and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined and moistened. Do not over mix. Mix in chocolate chips or chunks. Set batter aside and make the chocolate sauce.
• Chocolate sauce: In a medium heatproof bowl, combine chocolate and heavy cream. Microwave in 20- to 30-second increments, mixing in between, until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth. Set aside while making the pancakes. I like to pour it over the pancakes while it's warm.
• Cook the pancakes: Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat. Coat with butter or oil. For each pancake, drop 1/4 cup of batter onto skillet. Cook 1-2 minutes, until surface of pancakes have some bubbles and the bottom appears to be done. Flip carefully and cook another 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a plate and if you want you can cover the plate loosely with aluminum foil to keep warm. Coat the skillet with butter or oil before every pancake or batch of pancakes to prevent sticking.
• Serve immediately with chocolate sauce (rewarm sauce in the microwave for a few seconds if needed).

ORANGE SAUCE RECIPE FOR PANCAKES

Steps:

• Start by peeling 4 of the oranges. Using a sharp knife cut the top and bottom, place the orange on one end and slice the skin off downwards all the way around (ensuring you are also removing the white skin around the fruit). Cut each orange into wedges (removing the white middle bit from the oranges).
• Using a large non-stick pan heat up 1 tablespoon of butter, add the orange wedges, scatter 1½ tablespoons of sugar and fry over a fairly high heat for 1-2 minutes turning once or twice (the butter, sugar and juice will start caramelising and bubbling up).
• Quickly transfer the oranges along with the sticky juice into a blender, add the orange zest plus juice of the remaining 1½ oranges and puree the mixture until very smooth.
• In a saucepan heat up the remaining butter, add the flour and whisk together until smooth. Add the orange mixture and bring to the boil whisking all the time. Lower the heat, add the remaining sugar, lemon juice, pinch of salt, stir and simmer for 2 minutes whisking often.
• Remove from the heat and set aside for 5-10 minutes to cool a little and let the sauce thicken. Serve warm.
