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)
• 0 Whipped cream (optional topping)
• 0 Orange slices (optional garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a separate bowl, beat the egg, then whisk in the milk, orange juice, orange zest, melted butter, and vanilla extract.

Step 3

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 4

Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter or a non-stick spray.

Step 5

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).

Step 6

Flip the pancake and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Remove from skillet and repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 7

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).

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Enjoy your Orange Dessert Pancakes fresh and warm!
