Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 large Egg
• 1.25 cups Milk
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups Pomegranate seeds (arils)
• 0.5 cups Maple syrup
• 0.25 cups Pomegranate juice
• 1 teaspoons Butter or oil (for cooking)

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, beat the egg, then mix in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

Step 4

Fold in the pomegranate seeds, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 5

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.

Step 6

Using a ladle or measuring cup, pour about 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until small bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.

Step 7

Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 8

While the pancakes are cooking, prepare the pomegranate syrup: In a small saucepan, combine the maple syrup and pomegranate juice. Heat over low-medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 9

Stack the pancakes on plates, drizzle with the pomegranate syrup, and garnish with additional pomegranate seeds if desired.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy your delightful pomegranate pancakes!
