Lean pancakes are always prepared without adding milk, butter, eggs or other dairy products. But, despite this, lean pancakes can be made very tasty and aromatic. For example, you can get a new taste of lean pancakes by using a variety of flours: add corn, rye or oat flour to wheat flour. But this is not the only way to diversify pancakes. Various products are also used as liquid components that change the taste of pancakes.
So, delicious pancakes are obtained on beer, vegetable broth, mineral water, tomato, lemon, peach or apricot juice, as well as on an orange, on which I propose to bake them today. If you are worried that you will feel too citrusy aftertaste, then I want to calm down. The taste is completely incomprehensible what the pancakes are made of. I assure you that these lean pancakes turn out to be absolutely no worse than the classic ones, and even more tender. In addition, the plus of orange juice is that the pancakes will have a beautiful yellow color.

Cooking Lean Pancakes with Orange Juice:
1. Pour orange juice into a deep kneading container. Add refined vegetable oil to it.
2. Stir the mixture well so that the products are evenly mixed.
3. Combine flour with starch, sugar and salt. Mix well. The starch in this recipe replaces the egg. It imparts viscosity. Instead, you can also add banana puree, which is no less than an egg is a good binder for products.
4. Pour flour into the liquid ingredients. It is advisable to sift it through a fine sieve so that there are no lumps. There is also a way to help avoid lumps: pour out a small amount of liquid and dilute a tighter dough in it, in consistency, like thick sour cream. And then bring the pancake dough to the desired texture with the remaining liquid.
5. Use a whisk or blender to knead the dough until smooth and smooth.
6. Place the pan on the stove and chop well. So that the first pancake is not a lump, grease the pan with a thin layer of butter or a piece of bacon. You need to do this only once, in the future, before baking the rest of the pancakes, you can not oil the pan with anything.
7. When the edges of the pancake are browned and golden brown, turn the pancake over and bake for about 1 minute. Serve hot pancakes with any sauces and jams. In addition, they can be stuffed with any filling, both sweet and salty.
