blueberry and orange pancakes
Ingredients
  • 1 all-purpose flour
  • 1 granulated sugar
  • 1 baking powder
  • 1/2 baking soda
  • 1/2 salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 3/4 buttermilk
  • 1/4 fresh orange juice
  • scant 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1/2 to 3/4 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen, thawed, and drained)
  • 3-4 butter, for griddle or pan
  • 1 1/2 powdered sugar
  • 3 fresh orange juice
  • 1 pure maple syrup
Directions
  1. Place a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat oven to 200 degrees. The oven will keep the pancakes warm as you bake them in batches.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a small bowl, whisk together egg, buttermilk, orange juice, zest, and almond extract.
  3. Whisk the buttermilk mixture into the flour mixture until just combined. Fold in the blueberries. Let batter rest for 5 minutes while the griddle heats.
  4. Over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a cast-iron skillet or griddle. Spoon 2 tablespoons batter into the hot pan and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 2 minutes per side.
  5. Place pancakes on an ovenproof plate and store in the oven to keep warm while you cook the rest of the batter, adding butter to the pan as needed.
  6. Whisk together powdered sugar, orange juice, and maple syrup. Serve alongside warm pancakes. Pancakes are best served immediately.
