Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Egg whites
- 1 cup Low-fat milk
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- Non-stick cooking spray
- 0.5 cup Fresh orange juice
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, beat the egg whites until frothy, then mix in the low-fat milk and vanilla extract.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; some lumps are fine.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat with non-stick cooking spray.
Pour 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and repeat with the remaining batter.
For the orange sauce, combine orange juice, orange zest, and honey in a small saucepan over medium heat.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to form a slurry. Gradually whisk the slurry into the orange sauce and stir until the mixture thickens, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
Serve the pancakes warm, drizzled with the fresh orange sauce.
