Whisk milk, eggs, orange juice and orange zest in a large bowl until smooth.
Whisk in flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Whisk in melted butter and stir until smooth.
Heat large pan over medium heat. Grease the pan with oil. Now, pour about ¼ cup of the batter into the pan for each pancake.
When bubbles begin to appear on top, flip the pancakes and cook for 1-2 minutes or until the other side is lightly brown.
Place the pancakes into a serving plate. Serve with whipped cream and a drizzle of maple syrup on top.

Prepare the dry ingredients by sifting them to aid in the incorporation of air, which will make the pancakes light.
After adding the wet ingredients to the dry, mix only until everything is well incorporated. Lumps are not a problem. Overmixing might result in pancakes that are tough and chewy.
Experiment in the kitchen and add melted white chocolate for a more interesting pancake flavor.

Need milk substitution? Make sure to use buttermilk in this recipe. Buttermilk makes your pancakes lighter and fluffier with the tangy flavor that compliments that of the orange zest.
Give up the typical whipped cream and maple syrup toppings, and give in to the newest favorite topping in town. Make your unused ripe banana as your toppings and slatter it with Nutella on top of your Orange Pancakes.
Add melted ricotta cheese to your pancake mixture for a cheesy, light, and fluffy pancake experience. The ricotta cheese will surely be wonderful paired with your orange flavor in this recipe.
