Preparation time: 20 minutes Baking time: 20 minutes Total time: 40 minutes Number of servings: 4 Ingredients: For the pancakes: - 2 large eggs - a pinch of salt - 1 teaspoon rum essence - 1 teaspoon vanilla essence - 7 tablespoons of flour - 3 tablespoons of instant cocoa - 1 cup of milk (about 250 ml) - oil for greasing the pan For the lemon cream: - 1 packet of pudding (preferably vanilla-flavored) - 1 tablespoon of butter - 2 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice - a handful of raisins (optional but recommended) For decoration: - 1 orange - 6 fresh strawberries - powdered sugar for sprinkling A brief history of pancakes: Pancakes are a beloved culinary dish with deep roots in many cultures. Although recipes vary, the basic ingredients remain constant: flour, eggs, and milk. In this version, cocoa adds a chocolate note, transforming them into an elegant dessert. Step by step: 1. Prepare the pancake batter: In a large bowl, beat the two eggs with a pinch of salt, rum essence, and vanilla essence. It is important to use fresh eggs to achieve fluffy and flavorful pancakes. Then, add the flour and cocoa. Mix well, gradually adding the milk to avoid lumps. The final consistency should be similar to liquid sour cream — fluid but not too thin. 2. Cooking the pancakes: Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil. Use a ladle to pour half a ladle of batter into the pan. Cook the pancake for 1-2 minutes on each side until it turns lightly golden. Once ready, flip the pancake onto a plate and repeat the process until the batter is finished. Stack the pancakes on top of each other to keep them warm. 3. Prepare the lemon cream: Now, prepare the lemon cream. In another bowl, prepare the pudding according to the package instructions, using milk. Once the pudding has thickened, add the tablespoon of butter and lemon juice. If you choose to use raisins, add them now, mixing well to incorporate. Let the cream cool, stirring occasionally to prevent a crust from forming. 4. Prepare the fruits: Peel the orange and slice it thinly. Wash the strawberries and slice them finely. These fruits not only add a fresh taste but also a pop of color to your pancakes. 5. Assemble the pancakes: Now comes the fun part! On each pancake, spread a portion of lemon cream, then arrange the orange and strawberry slices on top. Make them look beautiful and appetizing. Once filled, you can fold the pancakes in half or roll them up, according to your preference. Sprinkle powdered sugar on top for a special look and a sweet touch. 6. Serving: Serve the pancakes immediately to enjoy their freshness. You can accompany these delicious pancakes with herbal tea or freshly squeezed juice — a perfect mix for an energizing breakfast or an elegant dessert. Useful tips: - If you want even fluffier pancakes, you can add a tablespoon of baking powder to the pancake batter. - Instead of cocoa, you can experiment with other flavors, such as cinnamon or white chocolate, for a different variant. - If you want to save time, you can make the pancakes a day in advance and store them in the refrigerator. Gently heat them in the pan before serving.
