Custard and orange pancakes
Let me guess, you have a bottle of amasi/buttermilk and some custard in your fridge coz it’s scones season. But to be honest, every season is scone season though in winter they hit differently coz iweather iyavuma (the weather agrees) and who are we to say no. So spice up your breakfast with a delicious and different recipe that still uses those same ingredients that you have. Add some orange zesty for some zingy and also, to use up the oranges in this amazing custard and orange pancakes recipe.
What goes into these delicious custard and orange pancakes
Get all your ingredients out before starting and here is what you gonna need
Flour; The usual cake is great after all you are making cakes in a pan on a stovetop
Custard powder; I use the Moirs brand and have no complaints check out my custard recipe with it
Amasi; Use fresh amasi you probably thinking that amasi can’t go bad coz it’s already in a bad form, but old amasi will leave a bitter taste and ruin your pancakes
Baking powder and soda; Yes you need both, use fresh baking please also if you buy a refill pack make sure you store it in an airtight container for best results. And for a more detailed explanation of the difference between baking powder and soda please check out this banana bread post.
Orange; finely grate the peel for the zesty
Margarine
Eggs
Sugar
