🍊 Fluffy Orange Pancakes πŸ₯ž

These soft and fluffy orange pancakes are bursting with fresh citrus flavor. They’re perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a sweet weekend treat. Serve them warm with honey or maple syrup and fresh orange slices for a bright and refreshing finish.

Ingredients

  • 1 large egg
  • 100 ml (β…“ cup plus 1 tablespoon) fresh orange juice
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • Honey or maple syrup, for serving
  • Fresh orange slices, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the egg, fresh orange juice, orange zest, sugar, and vegetable oil. Whisk until well blended.
  2. Sift together the flour and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture.
  3. Stir gently until a smooth, thick batter forms with no lumps. Do not overmix, as this helps keep the pancakes light and fluffy.
  4. Lightly grease a nonstick skillet or griddle and heat it over medium-low heat.
  5. Pour a portion of the batter into the center of the skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes, or until bubbles begin to form on the surface and the edges look set.
  6. Carefully flip the pancake and cook for another 1–2 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.
  7. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  8. Serve the pancakes warm, drizzled with honey or maple syrup, and garnish with fresh orange slices.

Tip

When zesting the orange, use only the bright orange outer peel. Avoid the white pith underneath, as it can add a bitter taste to the pancakes.
