Ingredients
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 cup Mandarin oranges, peeled and segmented
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0 Optional: Powdered sugar or maple syrup for topping
Directions
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
Step 2
In a separate small bowl, whisk the egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Step 3
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few small lumps are fine.
Step 4
Gently fold in the mandarin orange segments, being careful not to break them apart too much.
Step 5
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat the surface with butter or cooking spray.
Step 6
Scoop 1/4 cup portions of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set.
Step 7
Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 8
Transfer the pancakes to a plate and serve warm. Top with powdered sugar or drizzle with maple syrup, if desired.
