EASY
Preparation: 20 minutes
Cooking: 15 minutes
INGREDIENTS:
- Butter, for frying
- 1 x 700 g Woolworths Frozen Pancakes, thawed
- Vanilla ice cream, for serving
For the toffee sauce:
- 1 cup fresh ClemenGold™ juice
- 1 T lemon juice
- 2 lemons, zested
- 220 g castor sugar
- 4 T Grand Marnier or brandy (optional)
- 170 g chilled butter, cubed
- Salt, a pinch

METHOD:
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- Heat a little butter in a pan and fry the pancakes one by one. Fold each one into a triangle and arrange in layers in a 28 cm ovenproof dish or pan.
- To make the sauce, place a deep saucepan over a medium heat and add the citrus juice, lemon zest, sugar and alcohol (optional). Stir using a silicon spatula and simmer until light caramel in colour, 4–6 minutes. Gradually add the butter, whisking to combine, then add the salt.

- Sprinkle over the orange zest and bake for 10–15 minutes, or until bubbling.
- Serve hot out of the tray with ice cream.
