Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1.25 cups Buttermilk
• 2 whole Large eggs
• 0.25 cups Fresh orange juice
• 1 tablespoon Orange zest
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0 Cooking spray or extra butter (for greasing)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, fresh orange juice, orange zest, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined; avoid overmixing. It’s okay if the batter is slightly lumpy.

Step 4

Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with cooking spray or butter.

Step 5

Using a 1/4-cup measure, pour portions of batter onto the skillet, leaving some space between each pancake.

Step 6

Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles begin to form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip the pancake carefully and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.

Step 7

Repeat the process with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.

Step 8

Serve the pancakes warm, topped with maple syrup, extra orange zest, or fresh berries, if desired. Enjoy!
