Add the remaining cream and orange blossom water and stir to combine. Grate 1/2 a nutmeg and stir into batter.
- Heat skillet to level 5 and wait until a drop of water skitters across the surface.
- Pour approximately half a cup of batter into the center of the pan and spread by swirling the pan to create an 8-inch pancake. Cook for 1 minute or until the edges of the pancake lift and appear lacy and the middle looks mostly set. Flip the pancake and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
