Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Plain yogurt
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 2 Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 cup Orange juice
• 1 teaspoon Orange zest
• 0.25 cup Honey
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon Water

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a separate bowl, combine the yogurt, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well blended.

Step 3

Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

Step 4

Stir in the melted butter until fully incorporated. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.

Step 5

While the batter rests, prepare the orange syrup. In a small saucepan, combine the orange juice, orange zest, and honey over medium heat. Stir occasionally and bring to a gentle simmer.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Slowly whisk the slurry into the orange mixture. Continue to simmer for 2-3 minutes until the syrup thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 9

Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet between batches as needed.

Step 10

Serve pancakes warm, drizzled generously with the orange syrup. Enjoy!
