When Kimberly R. ran out of milk for her pancake batter, she substituted orange juice -- with terrific results. "Everybody said they were the best I'd ever made," she writes from her home in Cleveland, Tennessee.

Prep/Total Time: 15 min.

You Will Need
1 cup self-rising flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 egg
1/2 cup 2% milk
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 tablespoon canola oil
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Orange Syrup
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/2 cup orange juice

What to Do
1. In a bowl, combine the flour and sugar. Whisk the egg, milk, orange juice, oil and vanilla until blended; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Pour batter by 1/3 cupfuls onto a hot griddle coated with nonstick cooking spray. Turn when bubbles form on top; cook until second side is golden brown.

2. Meanwhile, for syrup, combine the sugar, cornstarch and orange juice in a saucepan until smooth. Bring to a boil over medium heat; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Serve warm with pancakes.
