Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Poppy seeds
- 1 tablespoon Orange zest
- 0.5 cup Freshly squeezed orange juice
- 0.25 cup Whole milk
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- as needed Nonstick cooking spray
- optional Maple syrup (for serving)
- optional Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and poppy seeds.
Add the orange zest and stir to combine.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the orange juice, milk, egg, and melted butter until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with nonstick cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of batter onto the skillet for each mini pancake, spacing them a couple of inches apart.
Cook the pancakes for 1-2 minutes, or until small bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to set.
Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm while you cook the remaining batter.
Serve the mini pancakes warm with a drizzle of maple syrup or a dusting of powdered sugar, if desired. Enjoy!
