Prince Charlie's Pancakes
- 4 ounces all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 14 cups milk
- 2 tablespoons shortening
- 6 tablespoons butter
- 12 cup caster sugar
- 2 tablespoons drambuie
- 3 oranges, Grated rind and juice
- 2 lemons, Grated rind and juice
- 1 pinch salt
- Sift the flour and salt into a bowl and make a hollow in the centre.
- Stir in the beaten eggs and half the milk and beat until you have a smooth batter.
- Then slowly stir in the other half of the milk.
- Melt a little lard in an 8 inch (20cm) frying pan (skillet).
- Pour in enough batter to cover the base of the pan, swirling the pan so that it becomes evenly coated.
- Fry (saute) for a few minutes until bubbles appear on the surface.
- Turn the pancakes over and cook the other side.
- Then slide on to a tea towel (dish cloth) and keep warm.
- Make more pancakes in the same way until the batter is used up (there should be enough for about eight pancakes).
- Melt the butter (or margarine) in another frying pan (skillet), then stir in the sugar and cook for one minute.
- Add the grated rind and juice of the oranges and lemons and bring to the boil.
- Then add the Drambuie and simmer gently for three minutes.
- Fold the pancakes into quarters and place in the frying pan.
- Cook gently for three minutes, spooning the sauce over the top, until heated through.
- Serve immediately.
