ORANGE MAPLE PANCAKES & SYRUP

Steps:

• To make the syrup, combine maple syrup, vanilla, orange juice, and zest in a small saucepan over low heat. Remove when hot (do not allow to boil). Keep warm.
• To make the pancakes, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Add milk, orange juice, maple syrup, zest, butter, and eggs. Stir just until combined (little lumps are okay).
• Heat a griddle or a 12- to 14-inch skillet over a medium flame. When hot, brush lightly with vegetable oil. Using a 1/4-cup measure, pour batter onto hot griddle, making a few pancakes at a time. Cook until big bubbles form on top and edges are golden. Flip with a spatula and continue cooking until undersides are also golden.Transfer serving plate.
• Repeat with remaining batter, brushing griddle with additional oil if pancakes begin to stick. Serve warm with butter and orange-maple syrup.

• Turn off heat, add Splenda, brown sugar, and water and let stand for 15 minutes so apricots can continue to soften.
• In a food processor or blender, blend apricot orange juice mixture till as smooth as you can get it.
• Stir in pancake syrup. Serve warm.
• For the PANCAKES: Separate two eggs, place the yolks in a large bowl and the whites in a medium bowl.
