To prepare these easy orange pancakes, start my mixing the dry ingredients with a whisk in a large bowl. Strip off the leaves from the sprigs of thyme and add to the dry ingredients.
In a small bowl, whisk all the wet ingredients together except water.
Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour the wet mixture. Gently keep stirring with a fork, adding upto 1/4 cup water to make a thick but pourable pancake batter.
Heat a non stick pan. Pour a tsp of olive oil and grease the pan evenly using a kitchen paper.
Using a ladle that will hold roughly 1/4 cup batter, make 3-4 pancakes at one go, leaving some space between them to allow easy turning.
On a medium flame allow one side to cook. When you see bubbles around the circumference turn over and allow other side to turn golden and the pancake to fluff up.
This recipe will make around 8 such pancakes.
Divide the stacks of pancakes between two plates. Garnish with some more fresh thyme and serve with some more maple syrup poured over the stacks.
