Orange syrup for pancakes tastes lovely and citrusy and are a great alternative to traditional pancakes.

Perfect for those who love lemon and sugar pancakes but want something a little different. The tastebud-tingling mix of zesty orange flavours makes these quick and easy pancakes an indulgent treat that you're sure to love. Our pancake recipe has a boozy twist as we've chosen to use Cointreau for the syrup.

Ingredients

4 clementines

Top tips for making orange syrup for pancakes

Instead of clementines, try caramelised apples, vanilla extract and a splash of Grand Marnier or a jar of Belgian chocolate sauce, sliced bananas and flaked almonds.
