Baklava and Honey Pancakes

These honey pancakes are layered with a sweet nut mixture containing pistachios, walnuts, hazelnuts, cinnamon, and of course like any good baklava, these have a sweet honey syrup. My syrup has orange peel and clove in it so the depth of flavor is amazing! I kid you not I can literally eat this syrup with a spoon. I promise you, this homemade pancake recipe will soon become a family favorite!

Ingredients
  

Pancakes

  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 eggs (separated)
  • 2 ½ cups buttermilk
  • ¾ cup salted butter (melted)
  • zest of 2 oranges

Nut Mixture

  • ½ cup pistashios
  • ½ cup hazelnuts
  • ½ cup walnuts
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • 4 tablespoon butter (melted)

Orange Honey Syrup

  • 1 cup water
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 cup honey
  • peel from one orange
  • juice from 2 oranges (about ¼ cup)
  • pinch clove

Instructions
 

Pancakes

  • In a large bowl combine your flour, baking powder, salt, sugar and mix. Add your egg yolks, buttermilk, melted butter, and orange zest. Mix until combined.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, whip your egg whites until you get soft peeks. Fold this into your batter.
  • Use ¼ cup measuring cup to scoop and pour your batter into a pan. Cook on medium low heat until bubbles start to form on the top, then flip and cook on that side for another 3 minutes. If using a nonstick pan you do not need butter for this.

Nut Mixture

  • In a food processor add all of your nuts. Pulse lightly to chop your nuts.
  • In a small bowl add your nut mixture, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Add your melted butter and combine.

Honey Orange Syrup

  • In a saucepan add your water, sugar, honey, orange peel, and clove. Bring mixture to a boil over medium heat. Once it comes to a boil reduce the heat and simmer for about 25 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and add your orange juice.
  • Remove your orange peel and let cool.

Assemble

  • Time to stack your pancakes. Start with one pancake, add a little of your nut mixture and a drizzle of your honey syrup. Repeat again until you get your desired amount of stack!
  • Add some extra honey syrup on top and enjoy!
