Instructions
1
Whisk the flour, semolina and baking powder together in a bowl, then beat in the milk, egg and sugar until you have a smooth, thick batter.
2
Rest the batter for 20 minutes at room temperature so the semolina can hydrate.
3
Heat a lightly greased non-stick pan over medium heat and pour small rounds of batter, cooking only on one side until bubbles form and the top sets, about 2 minutes; stack the pale, un-browned sides up on a plate.
4
Mix the drained ricotta, cream cheese and orange zest together until smooth for the filling.
5
Spoon the cheese filling onto the cooked side of each pancake, fold into a half-moon or parcel shape, and press the edges to seal.
6
Arrange the filled pancakes into two buttered 8cm individual tart tins, brushing the tops with melted butter.
7
Bake at 190°C for 12-14 minutes until golden and the filling is just set, checking they don't dry out.
8
Transfer to a wire rack, drizzle warm honey over the top and scatter with crushed pistachio before serving warm.
