Orange- Poppy Seed Pancakes

Ingredients

• 1 cup soymilk
• 2/3 cup water
• 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder (non-aluminum)
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt (it specifies sea salt, but Zaar doesn't recognize that)
• 1/2 cup rolled oat
• 1/2 cup sunflower seed, toasted (optional)
• 1/4 cup poppy seed
• 1 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
• vegetable oil, for frying
• maple syrup or jam or fruit sauce or fresh fruit, for serving

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 200°F Put the soy milk and water into a small bowl and stir until well combined.

2. 2

   Whisk the dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Add the wet and stir to combine, using as few strokes as possible so you do not overmix the batter.

3. 3

   Let sit for 5 minutes to allow the batter to thicken. Lightly oil a frying pan over medium heat.

4. 4

   Using a measuring cup, pour 1/4 cup dollops of batter onto the pan . Cook until pancakes are bubbly on top and the edges are slightly dry, 2 to 3 minutes. Trun and cook until the pancakes are light brown on the bottom, 2 to 3 more minutes.

5. 5

   Transfer finished pancakes to a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven while you cook the rest. Oil the pan before each new batch.

6. 6

   Serve with your choice of toppings!
