Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1.25 cups milk
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons honey, for drizzling
- 1 cup fresh fruit (e.g., strawberries, blueberries, or oranges)
- 1 as needed non-stick cooking spray or butter
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
In a medium bowl, beat the egg and then whisk in the milk, melted butter, orange zest, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with cooking spray or butter.
Pour 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 pancakes with a spatula and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.
Stack the pancakes on a plate and drizzle with honey. Top with fresh fruit of your choice.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Sunrise Pancakes!
