Ukraine’s thin Pancakes are called ‘Mlyntsi’. Similar to France’s Crepes, ‘Mlyntsi’ can be sweet or savoury. I have my own ‘Mlyntsi’ recipe. Today I used Orange Juice instead of Milk, because I wanted to eat ‘Mlyntsi’ with ‘Orange Curd’ that I made a few days ago. The result was fantastic. I want to share how I made these very fragrant and slightly bitter Orange flavoured ‘Mlyntsi’.

2. Heat a frying pan, non-stick preferred, over medium low heat, lightly oil the pan, ladle the batter, and form a thin pancake in the size of your choice, using the bottom of the ladle to spread the batter if required.
