Orange pancakes
Description
The recipe won't take much time. I use a simple and reliable pancake recipe—what matters here is not the flavor of the pancakes themselves, so don't add vanilla or other flavorings, but rather their softness and tenderness. The cooked pancakes should be dipped into a boiling syrup made from fresh oranges, butter, and sugar, and soaked well. If the dessert is for adults, add a tablespoon or two of cognac to the orange syrup while cooking, let it simmer briefly to evaporate the alcohol, and you'll achieve an excellent dessert flavor.

Heat the pan thoroughly. If it's non-stick, there's no need to grease it. Pour in a ladle of batter and quickly fry on both sides until golden brown.

Set the finished pancakes aside for now. Depending on the diameter of the pan, you will get 14-16 pieces.

Wash the oranges, and remove the zest from one (only the orange layer, without the white pith). Then squeeze juice from both oranges; it's not necessary to strain the juice, just make sure there are no seeds.
