• Toss apricots and walnuts with the dry mix. Be sure to break up clumps.
• Preheat lightly-greased griddle medium to medium-high.
• Pour liquid mix into dry mix and stir together well to make a thick but fluid batter. DO NOT OVERMIX or pancakes will not be as light.

• Cook until done in the middle - adjusting heat if necessary to avoid burning.

• Leftovers can be eaten cold for breakfast or snacks.
