Method
step 1
Cream the butter and sugar in a bowl then add the liqueur and orange zest and spread a little over each pancake. Fold the pancakes into quarters and arrange in a large shallow ovenproof dish. Can be chilled for up to a day ahead or freeze for up to a month. Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5.
step 2
To make the sauce, put the citrus zests, orange juice and sugar in a pan and heat gently until the sugar dissolves. Add 2 tbsp of the liqueur. Bring to the boil then reduce the heat and cook for 7-10 mins until reduced by half. Set aside. Can be cooled and chilled a day ahead.
step 3
Bake the pancakes, covered for 15 mins. Gently warm the sauce until syrupy then stir in a tbsp of liqueur. Drizzle the pancakes with the sauce and serve with the cream.
