Ingredients

• Maple syrup - For serving
• Vegetable oil - 2 tablespoons
• Poppy seeds - 1 tablespoon
• Fresh orange zest - 2 tablespoons
• Milk - 1 cup
• Egg - 1
• Granulated sugar - 2 tablespoons
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Baking powder - 2 teaspoons
• All - purpose flour - 1 1/2 cups

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
2. In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then add the milk, orange zest, and poppy seeds. Mix well.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with vegetable oil.
5. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
6. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.
7. Serve the pancakes warm with maple syrup and fresh orange slices on top.
