Golden pancakes for the picky eater

RECIPE INGREDIENTS:
2 cups flour
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups buttermilk (or more)
3/4 cup Orange Puree (see recipe below for orange puree)
2 eggs
3 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled slightly
1. Whisk together the dry ingredients in a medium-size bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, Orange Puree, eggs, and melted butter. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, then pour in the buttermilk mixture. Whisk gently until just combined. If the batter is too thick, add another 2 or more tablespoons of buttermilk.

2. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Grease the hot skillet, then pour batter onto the skillet 1/4 cup at a time, spreading each cupful to about 4 1/2 inches in diameter with the back of a spoon. Cook the pancakes until bubbles form on the surface, about 2 minutes, then flip them and cook until golden, about 2 minutes more. Makes 16 pancakes.
