Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 1.25 cups milk
• 1 large egg
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon orange zest
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 cup fresh fruit (optional, for topping)
• 1 teaspoon butter or oil (for greasing the pan)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 3

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

Step 4

Gently fold in the orange zest to infuse the batter with a citrusy aroma.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake, leaving enough space between them to spread. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Flip the pancakes using a spatula and cook the other side until golden brown, about 1-2 more minutes.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Stack the pancakes on a plate and drizzle them with honey. Top with fresh fruit, if desired, for an extra sunny touch.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy your Sunny Pancakes with a big smile!
