Sunny Pancakes

By: Alecia Barlow 
"I found this recipe in an old cookbook given to me by my mother-in-law. The light, delicate pancakes have a nice citrus flavor that the tangy orange sauce complements."

Original Recipe Yield 4 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup orange juice
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons finely grated orange peel
  • ORANGE SAUCE:
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 2 tablespoons butter or margarine
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons finely grated orange peel

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the first four ingredients. In another bowl, combine the egg, orange juice, milk, oil and orange peel; add to dry ingredients just until moistened. Pour batter by 1/4 cupfuls onto a lightly greased hot griddle. Turn when bubbles form on top; cook until second side is golden brown.
  2. For orange sauce, combine sugar, cornstarch and salt in a saucepan. Stir in the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Serve warm with pancakes.
