Directions
- 1
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- 2
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- 3
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix with a spoon until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
- 4
Gently fold in the orange zest. A separate bowl can be used to divide batter in half and then fold the berries into one portion.
- 5
Heat a lightly buttered griddle or non-stick pan over medium-low heat. The butter should sizzle gently, not smoke.
- 6
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the hot griddle.
- 7
If making the two-toned amulet, immediately dollop a small amount of the berry batter onto the plain batter, then swirl gently with a skewer or toothpick.
- 8
Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and bubbles appear on the surface of the plain batter.
- 9
Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes until cooked through.

Serve immediately with your favorite maple syrup and additional fresh berries.
