Simple Pancakes with Orange juice

Simple Pancakes with Orange Juice

Simple Pancakes, aah! The love of my life. Every Saturday I welcome my family in morning with an amazing aroma of my pancakes and every Friday is a whole wheat waffle or simple waffles morning.

Though I like simple pancakes a lot at times, I try some variations, to bring some change by topping the pancakes with ice cream, fresh cream, maple syrup, honey, fruits or chocolate or strawberry syrup. Or by adding some ingredients inside the batter. So today, I am sharing Orangy simple Pancake recipe with you. Have an orange morning.
