- Sugar: You can use brown sugar, or regular sugar to add a touch of sweetness.
- Egg: You will need one or more eggs, depending on the number of pancakes you make.
- Salt: You will find a small amount of salt in most pancake recipes.
- Vanilla extract: Vanilla adds sweetness and flavor.
- Pistachios: Baklava is a sweet pastry made with flaky phyllo pastry filled with crushed nuts such as pistachios, walnuts, or almonds.

How to Make Baklava Pancakes
- Melt the butter and let it cool to room temperature.
- Then, pour the flour into a big bowl. Add salt, sugar, and baking powder, cinnamon, and mix them with a whisk.
- In another bowl crack the egg. Whisk egg with a fork until consistency is even.
- Then add the milk and room-temperature melted butter or vegetable oil to the egg, and mix well. Add vanilla extract and rose water to the wet ingredients.
- Slowly stir in wet ingredients into the dry ingredients bowl and mix with a spatula until smooth.
- Add the crushed pistachios to the batter and mix again until evenly incorporated.
- Set heat to medium and spray the frying pan or pancake pan with oil. You can use a measuring cup or ladle to pour the batter into the pan.
- When you see bubbles on the surface, then it’s time to flip the pancake. When the other side becomes slightly brown, your pancake is ready.
- Top with extra crushed pistachios, a dollop of vanilla ice cream, and drizzle with honey syrup.
