Ingredients:

1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour

2 tablespoon sugar

2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 Egg, lightly beaten

1 1/2 cup buttermilk

4 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

1/4 cup honey

1 tablespoon pomegranate seeds

1 teaspoon roasted walnuts, grated

Preparation:

Mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt together in a mixing bowl. Whisk in the egg, buttermilk and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil until you have a smooth batter.

Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium sauté pan over medium-low heat.

Ladle ¼ cup of the pancake mixture into the pan and cook until golden brown.

Flip the pancake with a spatula and cook until golden brown on the second side. Transfer the pancake to a warm oven.

Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more olive oil to the pan as needed.

To serve, drizzle the pancakes with honey and garnish with pomegranate seeds and grated walnuts.
