  • 1 cup orange juice
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 egg (lightly beaten)
  • 2 tablespoons cooking oil

Preparation (Serves 16 Pancakes)

In a large bowl, combine flour and other dry ingredients, including orange peel. In a medium bowl combine remaining ingredients. Stir orange juice mixture into flour mixture until combined but still slightly lumpy.

Heat a slightly greased griddle or heavy skillet over medium heat. For each pancake pour about 1/4 cup batter onto griddle. Cook until golden; turn when tops are bubbly and edges are slightly dry (1 to 2 minutes per side).
