Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1.25 cups Buttermilk
• 0.25 cups Fresh orange juice
• 1 tablespoon Orange zest
• 1 Egg
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cups Fresh cranberries (chopped)
• 1 as needed Butter or cooking spray (for greasing the pan)
• 1 as needed Maple syrup or powdered sugar (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, orange juice, orange zest, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Fold the chopped cranberries into the pancake batter using a spatula.

Step 5

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.

Step 6

Pour about 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.

Step 7

Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup or a dusting of powdered sugar. Enjoy your Cranberry Orange Pancakes!
