Baklava Pancake
The Baklava Pancake is a pancake inspired by the Middle Eastern baklava, combining the flavors of honey-nut sweetness in a layered pancake.

In this recipe, the honey-nut filling layered between the pancakes provides the characteristic flavor of baklava. Pistachio and orange zest add freshness and a unique aroma to the dish, which is perfect for breakfast or as a dessert. The pancake tower drizzled with honey is guaranteed to impress any sweet tooth!
