In places, where winter takes on its full forth it isn't easy to enjoy the weather. But as my dear friend pointed out yesterday, nature has no bad weather--we should accept and enjoy it. I think all we need is to add a little sunshine!
Flavors like ginger, honey and zesty orange make these pancakes a sunshine on a plate: warm, yellow and tasty! To add more warmth, I served it with orange slices. If sun had a taste, it would definitely taste like ginger, orange and honey!
The only "set back" for this recipe is that you need to shave the oranges, carefully! You only need the top layer of the zest. It is where all the oil and flavor is stored. The pith (white layer) is bitter and can ruin the recipe. That's why you would need to use fine Microplane zester/grater. It might seem a bit expensive, but trust me, it is totally worth it because you can use this "magic wand" for many kitchen tasks! After shaving the oranges, peel them and segment. Squeeze the juice into the bowl with slices and set aside.
