Orange Pancakes, a light and simple idea to prepare, perfect for everyday breakfast during the winter season. The recipe is very simple and to prepare it, I used untreated oranges because I blended them with all the peel and pulp together with eggs and yogurt, then adding sugar, flour, and a pinch of baking powder to make them even fluffier.
Very fragrant pancakes, which are good even without topping, thanks to the scent and aroma of the orange that makes them truly special. However, if you prefer, you can enrich them with hazelnut spread or the classic maple syrup. Here at home, there were some divides for the topping, but both Giorgia and Francesca greatly appreciated this version. These orange pancakes are truly irresistible and will be ready in a click!

Steps
To prepare the orange pancakes, first thoroughly wash an orange. For this recipe, I recommend using an untreated orange with edible peel. Dry it well with kitchen paper, remove the ends and cut it into pieces. Then transfer them to the blender along with yogurt, egg, and sugar. Blend until you obtain a smooth cream and transfer it to a bowl.
Next, add the flour and baking powder and mix with a hand whisk until smooth with no lumps. Heat a non-stick pan and pour a tablespoon of batter. Cook for 3 or 4 minutes with the lid on until bubbles begin to form. Flip the pancake with a spatula and finish cooking on the other side, also with the lid on.
Transfer the pancakes to a plate, add powdered sugar or spreadable cream if you prefer, and serve at the table.
