Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the self-raising flour, baking powder, and 1/4 cup of sugar (half of the total 1/2 cup measured).
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then whisk in the milk.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- In a small saucepan, combine the orange juice, lemon juice, and the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir until the sugar has completely dissolved.
- Allow the mixture to simmer gently for about 5-7 minutes until it thickens slightly and becomes syrupy. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Add the butter to the skillet, allowing it to melt and evenly coat the surface.
- Lightly grease the skillet with a short spray of cooking spray oil.
- Using a ladle or a measuring cup, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
- Cook the pancakes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the cooked pancakes and keep them warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter and cooking spray as needed.
- Stack the pancakes on plates and generously drizzle the citrus syrup over the top.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the bright, tangy flavor of the citrus syrup with the soft, fluffy pancakes!
Tips:
- Ensure your ingredients, particularly the egg and milk, are at room temperature before starting, as this will help create a smoother batter.
- Do not overmix the batter; it's okay if there are a few lumps. Overmixing can result in dense pancakes.
- Let the batter rest for a few minutes after mixing to allow the flour to fully hydrate, which can result in fluffier pancakes.
- Use a medium-low heat setting when cooking the pancakes to ensure they cook evenly without burning.
- To make sure your pancakes are round and uniform, use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to pour the batter onto the skillet.
- For an extra burst of flavor, you can add a bit of orange or lemon zest to the pancake batter.
- When making the citrus syrup, simmer it gently to thicken and intensify the flavors without burning the sugars.
Your pancakes with citrus syrup are now ready to be enjoyed! The combination of the fluffy pancakes and the zesty citrus syrup creates a perfect harmony of flavors that will tantalize your taste buds. Serve warm, and watch these delicious pancakes disappear from the plate. Happy cooking and bon appétit!
