    Pancakes Recipe-

    Missy Chase Lapine, author of "The Sneaky Chef," adds this Orange Puree, made from carrots and yams to kids' favorite foods. Orange Puree sweetens the flavor -- and the nutritional value -- of these appealing pancakes.
    Ingredients
    2 cups flour
    2 tablespoons sugar
    2 teaspoons baking powder
    1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1 1/4 cups buttermilk (or more)
    3/4 cup Orange Puree
    2 eggs
    3 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled slightly
    Instructions
    1. Whisk together the dry ingredients in a medium-size bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, Orange Puree, eggs, and melted butter. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, then pour in the buttermilk mixture. Whisk gently until just combined. If the batter is too thick, add another 2 or more tablespoons of buttermilk.
    2. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Grease the hot skillet, then pour batter onto the skillet 1/4 cup at a time, spreading each cupful to about 4 1/2 inches in diameter with the back of a spoon. Cook the pancakes until bubbles form on the surface, about 2 minutes, then flip them and cook until golden, about 2 minutes more. Makes 16 pancakes. less
