This recipe is from the 2008 cookbook Fruit! Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1 teaspoon superfine sugar |
2 eggs, separated |
1 cup whole milk |
1 tangerine, zest of, minced |
1/3 cup golden raisin |
1/4 cup unsalted butter |
3/4 cup superfine sugar |
1 1/4 cups cold water |
2 tangerines, zest & juice of |
1/4 cup unsalted butter |
Directions:
1. FOR THE PANCAKES: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda & sugar, then make a well in the center & add the egg YOLKS & pour in the milk, gradually working these additions into the flour mixture with a whisk. Combine until thick & smooth, but be careful NOT TO OVER MIX.
2. In a grease-free bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff &, using a large metal spoon, carefully fold the whites into the batter, together with the tangerine zest & the raisins.
3. Heat a little butter in a large skillet until bubbling, tilting the skillet to coat the entire bottom & sides.
4. Ladle 1/4 cup of the batter into the skillet to form thick pancakes about 4 inches in diameter, then cook over a moderately low heat for about 2 1/2 minutes, or until bubbles appear on the surface.
5. Turn the cakes over & cook for another 2 1/2 minutes or until golden, puffed up & thick.
6. Turn the pancakes out onto a wire rack lined with a clean tea towel & baking parchment, folding the paper & towel over the pancakes to keep them moist.
7. Repeat this until the batter is used up & 8 pancakes have been made, re-buttering the skillet as necessary, & stacking the cooked pancakes beetween the sheets of parchment until they are ready to be served.
8. FOR THE SYRUP: Put the sugar in a saucepan, & pour the cold water over the sugar, then add the tangerine ZEST, & heat, stirring for 2-3 minutes or until the sugar dissolves.
9. Increase the heat & bring the sugar mixture to a boil, then turn the heat down & simmer, without stirring for 10 minutes, before removing from the heat.
10. Add the butter & stir until the butter is melted, then cool for 10 minutes before stirring in the tangerine juice.
11. Serve pancakes warm with the warm tangerine syrup & ENJOY!.
