    Instructions

    1

    For the pancakes, place all the ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth. Set aside for 30 minutes to rest.

    2

    For the caramel sauce, place the sugar, orange flower water, if using, and water in a saucepan over a low heat. Stir until the sugar has dissolved, then stop stirring and leave to boil until golden. Remove from the heat and cool for a few minutes, then stir in the cream and liqueur, if using. Strain it into a jug and keep warm.

    3

    Stir the melted butter into the pancake mixture. Heat the extra butter in a small pan over a medium-high heat. Pour a spoonful of the batter into the pan and swirl to coat the base. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface, about 1 – 2 minutes, then flip and cook for a further 20 – 30 seconds. Repeat with the remaining batter.

    Serve with the caramel sauce and hazelnuts.
