  1. In a medium bowl mix together the pancake mix with the salt, microgreens, and red onion.

  2. In a smaller bowl whisk together the egg, milk and 1 tablespoon olive oil

  3. Pour the liquid mixture into the dry ingredients until combined, but do not beat. A few small lumps are ok.

  4. Allow the batter to sit for 5 minutes to thicken (if the batter becomes too thick, add a bit more milk)

  5. Heat a skillet and brush lightly with extra virgin olive oil

  6. Drop batter in a scant tablespoon onto hot greased skillet. Cook 1 to 2 minutes until bubbles begin to form on surface. Flip, then cook about 1 minute more or until golden brown. Transfer to plate. Repeat with remaining batter.
