Step 1: Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a medium bowl combine:

• Flour
• Sugar
• Baking powder
• Baking soda
• Salt

Whisk everything together so the ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 2: Prepare the Wet Ingredients

In another bowl whisk together:

• Egg
• Fresh orange juice
• Orange zest
• Melted butter
• Vanilla extract

Mix until smooth and well combined.

Step 3: Combine the Batter

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients.

Gently mix with a whisk or spatula until just combined.
Do not overmix — small lumps are perfectly fine and help keep the pancakes fluffy.

Step 4: Cook the Pancakes

Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.

Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the pan for each pancake.

Cook for about 2–3 minutes until bubbles appear on the surface.

Flip the pancake and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden brown.

Step 5: Serve

Stack the pancakes on a plate and top with:

• Maple syrup or honey
• Powdered sugar
• Fresh orange slices
• Extra orange zest

Serve warm and enjoy.

Tips for Perfect Pancakes

✔ Use fresh orange juice for the best flavor.
✔ Let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking to make pancakes fluffier.
✔ Cook on medium heat so they cook evenly without burning.
✔ Add chocolate chips or blueberries for extra flavor.
