- Heat a 20cm (8in) non-stick frying pan. Brush sparingly with a little oil and pour in a ladelful of the batter. Immediately swirl and tilt the pan to create a thin even layer. Cook until golden around the edge and dry in the centre, about 45 seconds. Carefully flip the pancake over and cook for a further 15 seconds. Turn out onto a plate. Repeat with the remaining mixture.

- Lightly butter a shallow ovenproof dish. Fold the pancakes into eighths and arrange in the dish. Scatter over the pecans and the orange juice. Sprinkle over a little caster sugar. Place under a medium grill or in the oven for about 5 minutes until the pancakes are heated through and the edges are crispy.
- Remove from the heat. Warm the Carnation Caramel in a small pan or microwave and serve at once.
