Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 medium orange
  • 3 tablespoons sugar

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a medium bowl, whisk the 1 cup flour, 2 tsp baking powder, and 1 tbsp sugar. In a small bowl, beat the 1 egg with 1 cup milk, then stir into the dry ingredients until just combined (a few lumps are fine).

  2. 2

    Heat a lightly oiled skillet over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup batter per pancake and cook until bubbles form on top, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook until golden, about 1 minute more. Repeat with remaining batter.

  3. 3

    While pancakes cook, peel and slice the 2 oranges into rounds, then cut the rounds into quarters. Place them in a small saucepan with the remaining 2 tbsp sugar and 2 tbsp water.

  4. 4

    Simmer the orange mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the oranges soften and the liquid turns syrupy, about 5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Serve the pancakes topped with the warm orange compote and any extra orange slices.
