Ingredients

  • 1 cup All-purpose flour
  • 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
  • 0.25 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 large Egg whites
  • 1 cup Low-fat milk
  • 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 0 Non-stick cooking spray
  • 0.5 cup Fresh orange juice
  • 1 teaspoon Orange zest
  • 2 tablespoons Honey
  • 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 2

In another bowl, beat the egg whites until frothy, then mix in the low-fat milk and vanilla extract.

Step 3

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; some lumps are fine.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Pour 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 6

For the orange sauce, combine orange juice, orange zest, and honey in a small saucepan over medium heat.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to form a slurry. Gradually whisk the slurry into the orange sauce and stir until the mixture thickens, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 8

Serve the pancakes warm, drizzled with the fresh orange sauce.
