Notes

Tip
Plan ahead, pancakes take a lot longer to cook than pikelets because you do them one at a time. I’d start cooking at least 30 minutes before you want to start serving.
Tip
Leftover orange syrup is a lovely accompaniment to the berries.
Variation
Use blackcurrants, red currants, blueberries and blackberries if you can get them.
Variation
Use gluten-free flour and baking powder to make these pancakes gluten-free.
