Orange Pancakes

Pancakes are something I crave constantly. The warm maple syrup chasing the melted butter over the side of a fresh stack really sends me. Just writing about them now makes me want to put away the laptop and whip up some right now. I love traditional flavors but occasionally you need to flip the script in the kitchen. This recipe is one of those. It’s tangy from the orange but also has a spice flavor thanks to the nutmeg, ginger and clove. Put away the maple syrup, we top these with orange marmalade. Heaven.

Ingredients:

1 1/4 c. all-purpose flour
1 Tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. ground ginger
1/8 tsp. ground cloves
dash of ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp. salt
1 1/4 c. orange juice
1 large egg
2 Tbsp. melted butter
1 tsp. grated orange zest
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
orange marmalade for topping

In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, spices and salt. In a small bowl, whisk together orange juice, egg, melted butter, orange zest, and vanilla. Add to dry ingredients and mix well.

Lightly spray a nonstick griddle or pan and over medium heat pour 1/4 c. of batter for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form. Turn and cook until golden on opposite side, about a minute. Serve stacked with orange marmalade.

Have a pancake bonanza on a Saturday morning for your family. Make two or three flavors of pancakes and let them choose. This is also a great idea for surprising overnight guests. Enjoy!
