Royal pancakes

Cookinero 29 Jan 2023

Royal pancakes differ from ordinary ones not only in their original taste, but also in their special texture: they are drier and less plastic. However, therein lies the beauty! In addition, the dough contains a large amount of oil, which makes their taste creamy, very tender. And to further emphasize the “status” of such pancakes, we have added orange extract to the list of ingredients, which provides the dish with an exquisite flavor. That is, it’s definitely worth trying royal pancakes - on Maslenitsa or just on any day when you want to forget about the diet and treat yourself to a truly royal treat.

Royal pancakes - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

While all-purpose flour is recommended for the best texture, you can experiment with other types of flour like whole wheat pastry flour for a slightly denser pancake. Gluten-free flour blends can also be used, but you might need to adjust the liquid ratio to achieve the desired consistency.
If you don't have orange extract, you can use other citrus extracts like lemon or grapefruit. Alternatively, you can use the zest of half an orange for a natural orange flavor.
Leftover royal pancakes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Reheat them in a skillet or microwave before serving.
Yes, these pancakes freeze well. Let them cool completely, then layer them between sheets of parchment paper in a freezer-safe bag or container. They can be frozen for up to 2 months. Reheat directly from frozen in a skillet, oven, or microwave.
These royal pancakes are delicious with a variety of toppings, such as fresh fruit, whipped cream, maple syrup, chocolate sauce, or a dusting of powdered sugar. Consider adding a dollop of yogurt or a sprinkle of nuts for added flavor and texture.
Preheat your oven to a low temperature (around 200°F or 93°C). Place the cooked pancakes on a baking sheet in the oven to keep them warm until you're ready to serve.
Yes, you can reduce the sugar slightly, but keep in mind that sugar contributes to the pancake's browning and texture. Start by reducing it by 1/4 and see if you still enjoy the taste.
Make sure your pan is properly heated before adding the batter. Use a non-stick pan or a well-seasoned cast iron pan, and apply a thin layer of oil or butter to the surface before each pancake.
