Preparation Steps
1
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar to ensure a lump-free, light batter.
2
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, then add the milk, sparkling water, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
3
Melt the butter, let it cool slightly, and then whisk it into the egg mixture.
4
Zest the orange and add it to the mixture, then pour in the freshly squeezed orange juice.
5
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking constantly until you have a smooth, lump-free batter.
6
Lightly grease a skillet with oil and heat over medium heat.
7
Pour a small ladleful of batter onto the hot skillet, spreading it into a circular shape. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges set and bubbles start to form on the surface.
8
Carefully flip the pancake with a spatula and cook for another minute, or until golden brown.
9
Repeat the process until all the batter is used. If needed, re-grease the skillet with a little oil between batches.
10
Serve the orange pancakes with powdered sugar, honey, or a dollop of orange-infused mascarpone cream.
