- 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.
