  • To make the compote, put the orange juice and caster sugar in a pan with 6 tablespoons of water and heat gently until the sugar has dissolved.

Cook until small bubbles form and the edges begin to turn brown.Turn with a palette knife and cook for a further 1 minute or until cooked through. Lay on kitchen paper and keep warm, covered with foil. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil as required.
