Did you know they found pancakes in King Tut’s tomb?! 🤴🏽Well, these are a version of the pancakes, or “flatbread” he wanted to be buried with. I tried them and have to say he made the right choice. The pancake itself is kind of like an oatmeal griddle cake.
Then, it’s doused with a little honey on top. With the sweetness, it makes it feel similar to a whole wheat pancake you’d get at your fav brunch spot. The surprise ingredient might throw you for a loop, though! It’s ancient Egypt so something had to be weird about it. 😅
