How to Make Orange Dessert Pancakes

  1. In a large bowl, crack 1 large egg. Add 1/2 cup heavy cream and 1/4 cup thawed orange juice concentrate. Whisk until well combined.
  2. Gradually add 1 cup pancake mix, stirring until just combined. A few lumps are okay!
  3. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  4. While the pancakes cook, prepare the sauce: In a small saucepan, combine 2 tablespoons of butter, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup thawed orange juice concentrate, and 1 teaspoon orange zest.
  5. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar dissolves and the sauce slightly thickens (about 3-5 minutes). Do not boil.
