Spring Awakening: Orange Blossom Pancakes Recipe

Today’s Culinary Fantasy: Orange Blossom Pancakes

As the vibrant warmth of spring fills the air, I find myself craving a bright and refreshing breakfast to start my day. Today, I’m excited to share with you a recipe that captures the essence of the season in a delightful and unexpected way — my Orange Blossom Pancakes.

To create these fluffy and aromatic pancakes, you will need the following ingredients:

• 200g all-purpose flour
• 10g baking powder
• 30g sugar
• 2g salt
• 250ml milk
• 1 egg
• 30g melted butter
• 15ml orange blossom water
• zest of 1 orange

To bring this recipe to life, you will need the following kitchen tools:

• mixing bowl
• whisk
• grater
• pancake griddle

Begin by whisking together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, combine the milk, egg, melted butter, orange blossom water, and orange zest. Slowly add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix — a few lumps are perfectly fine and will result in fluffier pancakes.

Heat a pancake griddle over medium heat and lightly grease the surface with butter. Pour a ladleful of batter onto the griddle for each pancake and cook until bubbles form on the surface. Flip and cook for another minute or until golden brown.

Once all the pancakes are cooked, stack them high on a plate and drizzle with a touch of honey or maple syrup. The citrusy aroma of the orange blossom water and zest will tantalize your senses, while the fluffy texture of the pancakes will melt in your mouth.

This recipe yields approximately 10 pancakes and has a total weight of 750g. Each serving is around 75g, with an estimated calorie count of 150 per pancake.

For an extra special touch, try serving these Orange Blossom Pancakes with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of chopped pistachios for added crunch and visual appeal.

I hope you give these Orange Blossom Pancakes a try and let them brighten up your breakfast table. Feel free to experiment with different toppings or additions to make this recipe your own. Enjoy!
