For some, seedless oranges are the ideal option. Picky cooks believe that sometimes Spanish fruits are juicier than Turkish fruits, and yellow grapefruit has a completely different taste than its pink counterpart.
The type of fruit and, of course, the amount of ginger and sugar determines how the final product (pancake escort) will turn out: sweet, sweet-sour, spicy-sweet.
Ingredients for the dough:
- 250 g each of milk, flour;
- approximately 120–150 ml of water;
- a tablespoon each of butter (butter) and sugar;
- a quarter teaspoon each of vanillin and salt;
- two eggs;
orange escort:
- two oranges;
- one and a half lemons;
- from 20 to 100 g ginger;
- from 100 g of sugar.
How and what to do:
While the water is boiling, the butter is melting, and the milk is well heated.
Beat butter with eggs, vanilla, sugar, salt.
I pour in the milk, stirring, and add the flour in a stream.Lastly, I add water to the dough.
As soon as a homogeneous mass is obtained, less often than for pancakes, I leave it alone for 30 minutes. And I’m preparing a delicious accompaniment for pancakes.
I will remove the peel from all the fruits. I cut the citrus fruits into strips (slices), removing the seeds and whitish pith. I'll squeeze the juice out of the fruit. This can be done with a spoon, a mashed potato masher, or simply with your hands in the container in which you will cook, so as not to lose a drop of precious nectar.
Then, when a lot of juice has formed, I’ll pour sugar into the pan. While it dissolves in the orange mass, I peel the ginger root and grate it (using a regular grater with small holes). I put it in the pan too.
I put everything on fire. Stirring, bring just to a boil, remove from the stove. This process will need to be repeated three more times.
If you need to leave such a delicacy for long-term storage, then the interval between the heating and cooling procedures will be at least 12 hours. Now I’m sure that everything will go away immediately. After all, the finished product turns out to be approximately 300 g. Therefore, after a short (several minutes) interval, I set the delicacy to cook over minimal heat so that the whole mass has time to warm up evenly.
I bake pancakes in a special frying pan, grease it with a small amount of fat just before the first preparation. If you cook in a regular frying pan, check from time to time to make sure it is not dry.
When a wonderful pile of hot pancakes with such a festively delicious orange accompaniment is ready, even the most sophisticated gourmet is unlikely to refuse it!
