By á-170456

Ingredients

• 1 egg
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup flaked coconut
• 3/4 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon grated orange rind
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• Shortening as needed
• Orange Syrup (see recipe)

Preparation

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, beat egg until fluffy. Add remaining ingredients, except shortening, and beat just until smooth. For thinner pancakes, stir in additional 1 to 2 tablespoons milk.

Heat griddle or skillet over medium heat or to 375 degrees. Grease griddle with shortening, if necessary. Griddle is ready when a few drops of water bubble and skitter rapidly around.

For each pancake, pour scant 1/4 cup batter onto hot griddle. Cook pancakes until puffed and dry around edges. Turn and cook other sides until golden brown.

This recipe yields about nine 4-inch pancakes. Recipe can be doubled.
