These easy orange pancakes are light, fluffy, and packed with a brilliant orange flavor thanks to the infusion of fresh orange juice and zest! Simply delicious!
Whisk milk, eggs, orange juice and orange zest in a large bowl until smooth.
½ cup orange juice, 1 tablespoon orange zest, 2 eggs, ½ cup milk
Whisk in flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Whisk in melted butter and stir until smooth.
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon baking soda, 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ cup granulated sugar, 4 tablespoon butter
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.
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
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.
Notes
I suggest you 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, I recommend to mix only until everything is well incorporated. Overmixing might result in pancakes that are tough and chewy.
