Ingredients:

2                   eggs
2     cups          all-purpose flour
3     tablespoons   sugar
2     teaspoon      baking powder
1     teaspoon      baking soda
1     teaspoon      salt
1     cup           plain low-fat yogurt
1 1/4 cups          milk
4     tablespoons   unsalted butter - (1/2 stick)
1/2   teaspoon      vanilla extract
1     teaspoon      finely-grated orange zest
4                   oranges
                    Honey

Directions: one line for each direction. When saved the lines will be numbered.

In a bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy. Sift the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt over the eggs and stir to combine. Stir in the yogurt, milk, butter, vanilla and orange zest until smooth.
Heat a griddle over medium-high heat until a few drops of water flicked onto the surface skitter across it. Lightly grease the griddle with butter or spray with nonstick cooking spray.
Pour 1/3 cup of the batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on top and the batter is set, about 2 minutes. Using a spatula, flip the pancakes and cook until golden brown on the other side, about 2 minutes more. Keep warm until all the pancakes are cooked. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the griddle as needed.
Top the pancakes with orange sections and honey.
This recipe yields 12 pancakes; 4 servings.
Comments: To ensure your pancakes turn out light and fluffy, do not overmix the batter. Too much stirring will develop the gluten in the flour and produce tough pancakes. Use a griddle or a heavy nonstick fry pan and heat it thoroughly before adding the batter. Turn the pancakes only once, when bubbles appear on the surface and the bottoms are golden brown.
