Chia buckwheat pancakes are a staple at our house, and the toppings are a great opportunity for variety. I was recently given a nice basket of freshly picked oranges and one of the many ways I have used the juice is to make a delicious, fragrant pancake syrup.
Use:
1 1/2 cups orange juice
1/4 cup raw honey
1/4 cup butter
Heat these ingredients in a small saucepan until they are simmering slowly.
Stir:
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch into 3 tablespoons of water and add this mix very slowly to the warm syrup. Stir thoroughly and remove from heat.
This is a quick process, so you will be able to do it just before cooking the pancakes and have a nice warm fruit sauce for your pancakes. If you are lucky enough to have rhubarb where you live, a little rhubarb sauce added to the orange honey sauce would be grand!
When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.
