Cranberry Orange Pancakes

Sydney Mike's Note:

Made with fresh or frozen cranberries, these pancakes have a hint of orange that makes for a tasty breakfast! Original recipe is from The Joy of Cranberries: The Tangy Red Treat, with a small tweak from yours truly! Various syrups do well with these, but when they're topped with a cranberry syrup like Cranberry Syrup, well . . .

Wonderful pancakes! Beautiful texture and loved the cranberry/orange combo. I used dried cranberries but look forward to trying with fresh. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

Came out great. Everyone enjoyed them! Didn't have the orange zest at the time so it wasn't very orange-y. I did let the batter sit for a while to let it react a bit first. Very tasty! Thanks for sharing this!
