Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 cup Mandarin oranges, peeled and segmented
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- Optional: Powdered sugar or maple syrup for topping
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
In a separate small bowl, whisk the egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few small lumps are fine.
Gently fold in the mandarin orange segments, being careful not to break them apart too much.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat the surface with butter or cooking spray.
Scoop 1/4 cup portions of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set.
Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer the pancakes to a plate and serve warm. Top with powdered sugar or drizzle with maple syrup, if desired.
