Ingredients:

3/4 cup fresh juiced organic orange juice
2 T. organic orange zest (finely grated)
3/4 c. buttermilk
3 large organic pasture raised eggs
2 cups organic all purpose flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 c. granulated sugar
5 T. melted organic butter
Avocado oil spray (for the skillet or griddle, or as needed)

Directions:

• Quick Tip:  If you plan to keep batches warm until they are all made, heat the oven to 200 F.
• In a bowl, whisk the orange juice with the orange zest, buttermilk, and eggs until smooth. 
• In another bowl combine the flour, salt, baking powder, soda, and sugar. Stir into the first mixture, blending well. Add the melted butter and stir until smooth.
• Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add the oil to the hot skillet. When the oil is hot, pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan for each pancake.
• When bubbles begin to appear over the top of the pancakes and the edges begin to look dry, flip them and brown the other side lightly. 
• Adjust the heat under the pan, as necessary.
• Remove the pancakes to a plate and keep warm in the preheated 200 F oven or a warming drawer.
