Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 large Egg
- 1.25 cups Whole milk
- 0.25 cups Orange juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tablespoon Orange zest
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 0.5 cups Orange juice (for syrup)
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter (for syrup)
- Whipped cream (optional topping)
- Orange slices (optional garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg, then whisk in the milk, orange juice, orange zest, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter or a non-stick spray.
Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set (about 2-3 minutes).
Flip the pancake and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Remove from skillet and repeat with the remaining batter.
To make the orange syrup, combine the additional orange juice, honey, and 1 tablespoon of butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook while stirring until the mixture is warmed and slightly thickened (about 3-5 minutes).
Serve the pancakes warm, drizzled with the homemade orange syrup. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar, top with whipped cream, and garnish with fresh orange slices for an extra touch.
Enjoy your Orange Dessert Pancakes fresh and warm!
