Mimosa Pancakes with Supremed Citrus
Serves 4

Yes to everything in this recipe. Pump up the sophistication of pancakes not only with sparkling wine but by using olive oil and quality citrus, serve with powdered sugar for a daintier less basic version of the breakfast staple.

2 cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup milk
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon of orange zest + ½ cup orange juice
2 eggs
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil plus extra for pan
¼ cup sparkling wine or champagne
Powdered sugar, garnish
Supreme citrus, such as oranges and grapefruit, garnish

Whisk together flour, baking powder and salt. Make a well in the center of the bowl and add milk, sugar, orange zest and juice, eggs, olive oil and sparkling wine. Using a whisk break up wet ingredients and incorporate into dry ingredients. Mix until fully combined and not clumpy.  

Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and enough add olive oil or butter to coat the pan. Add about 1/3 cup pancake batter and cook until batter is bubbling, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional minute. Repeat for all pancakes and serve with supremed citrus such as oranges and grapefruit and dust with powdered sugar.
