   • In a saucepan, combine 4 tablespoons of sugar, cornstarch, and 3/4 cup of orange juice.
   • Stir the mixture until smooth, ensuring there are no lumps.
   • Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
   • Cook and stir continuously for approximately 2 minutes until the sauce thickens.
   • Once thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the orange sauce to cool to lukewarm temperature.

2. Prepare the Pancake Batter:

   • In a mixing bowl, combine the biscuit mix with the remaining sugar.
   • In a separate bowl, beat the eggs lightly.
   • Pour in the milk and the remaining orange juice into the beaten eggs and whisk until well combined.
   • Gradually add the wet ingredients mixture into the dry ingredients (biscuit mix and sugar), stirring gently until just moistened. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to dense pancakes.

3. Cook the Pancakes:

   • Heat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray or butter.
   • Once the griddle is hot, pour the pancake batter onto the surface using a ladle or measuring cup, forming pancakes of your desired size.
   • Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes on the first side, or until bubbles start to form on the surface.
   • Flip the pancakes using a spatula and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side until they are golden brown and cooked through.
   • Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat if necessary to prevent burning.

4. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Once cooked, stack the Sunny Orange Pancakes on a plate.
   • Drizzle the prepared orange sauce generously over the pancakes, allowing the tangy sweetness to soak in.
   • Garnish with fresh orange slices or zest for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
   • Serve warm and enjoy the sunny goodness!
