Aniseed Pancakes with Orange

Masterchef Australia Season 10 - the pancake challenge. 

My inspiration for this dish. 

I loooovvvveeee Masterchef Australia! And since South Africa doesn't have a Masterchef competition, I am thinking of moving to Australia just to be able to enlist... Isn't it just super sad and actually so disappointing that there isn't any such a big cooking competition left in South Africa? 

Well, while I am planning my move to Australia, I am working on my cookbook. Who knows... maybe I can be guest chef on Masterchef!! Hahaha!!
