Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Poppy seeds
• 1 tablespoon Orange zest
• 0.5 cup Freshly squeezed orange juice
• 0.25 cup Whole milk
• 1 large Egg
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 0 as needed Nonstick cooking spray
• 0 optional Maple syrup (for serving)
• 0 optional Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and poppy seeds.

Step 2

Add the orange zest and stir to combine.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the orange juice, milk, egg, and melted butter until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with nonstick cooking spray or a small amount of butter.

Step 6

Spoon about 1 tablespoon of batter onto the skillet for each mini pancake, spacing them a couple of inches apart.

Step 7

Cook the pancakes for 1-2 minutes, or until small bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to set.

Step 8

Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 9

Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm while you cook the remaining batter.

Step 10

Serve the mini pancakes warm with a drizzle of maple syrup or a dusting of powdered sugar, if desired. Enjoy!
