- 80 milliliters / ⅓ cup fresh orange juice 1 large orange or 1 ½ medium oranges
- 50 grams / ¼ cup tablespoons superfine sugar

Instructions
Pancake
- Preheat the oven to 200ºC/390F. Spread 1 ½ tablespoons of butter around your frying pan and place in the oven.

- Remove the pan carefully and pour in the pancake batter.
- Return the pan to the oven and bake for 12 minutes until the pancake has risen, lower the temperature down to 180C/350F and bake for a further 10 minutes until golden all over.
Orange Syrup
- Meanwhile, place the orange juice and sugar in a saucepan on medium heat uncovered, stirring until the sugar has dissolved and the syrup is bubbling thickly, approximately 5 minutes.
- Toss the butter in and whisk until it has melted.
- Remove the pancake from the oven and drizzle the orange syrup over.
- Serve with a few slices of fresh oranges.

Notes
- Orange juice: Fresh orange juice creates a really nice sweet and natural syrup flavor to the syrup.
- Oven safe frying pan/Skillet: A heavy based frying pan or Skillet is ideal to bake your pancake perfectly.
- How a Dutch Baby Pancake is different from regular pancakes: Unlike regular pancakes, Dutch Baby Pancakes are baked in the oven rather than cooked on a stovetop. This results in a different texture - a fluffy and custard-like pancake with a crispy edge. Dutch Baby Pancakes are also typically larger and meant to be served as a single whole pancake.
