Method:

  1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
  2. Melt the butter in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Make sure that the melted butter covers the sides and bottom of the skillet. Don’t let the butter burn.
  3. In a blender, combine the milk, egg and egg whites, flour, and salt. Blend until just well combined. Add the grated orange rind and stir into the batter. Leaving room for another pancake, pour half the batter into the heated skillet to form one pancake and use the rest of the batter to make a second pancake.
  4. Put the skillet into the preheated oven and bake for about 12 minutes, until the pancakes are puffed and golden brown. Remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle the pancakes with cinnamon. Pour the orange juice over the pancakes and serve.


Serving Suggestion:

For a lower-fat version, try spraying the pan with nonstick butter-flavored cooking spray.
