I Love Pancakes!

ORANGE WHOLE-WHEAT PANCAKES

·         1 cup whole-wheat flour

·         1 cup orange juice

·         ½ tsp salt

·         1 tsp baking soda

·         ½ cup vegetable oil

·         2 eggs plus 2 egg whites, whisked together

·         1 cup blueberries (optional)

In a medium-sized bowl, blend together flour, juice, salt and soda.  Slowly add the oil, mixing very well.  Blend in eggs.  Coat skillet with vegetable cooking spray and heat, medium high.  Pour on batter and sprinkle each pancake with blueberries.  Lower heat to medium and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes; flip pancakes over and continue cooking for another 2 to 3 minutes, until golden brown.  Serve with Honey Orange Butter.  Yields 10 large pancakes.



ORANGE HONEY BUTTER

·         ¼ cup orange juice concentrate

·         ¼ cup honey

·         1 cup butter, softened

Whip the orange juice and honey into the butter, mix thoroughly.  Cover bowl and refrigerate.  Make one day ahead to let flavors blend.
