Ingredients

- 1 egg, well beaten
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 2 tablespoons honey

Adjust the heat as needed so that they brown evenly. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve warm with honey or syrup and topped with fruit with additional nutritional benefit like blueberries, blackberries or pomegranates.
