Pancake day - low carb versions

[Scimama]

I have tried a few different low-carb recipes for pancakes over the last few years but they always end up more like a scrambled eggy mess that a pancake.

Does anyone have a foolproof recipe or tips for getting a pancake rather than almond flour scrambled eggs

Using cornflour (2 heaped tablespoons to an egg) plus a splash of full fat milk makes a very runny batter which is acceptable, although the edges tend to curl up when its cooking. You can buy them ready made, I forget which company make them but I think it was DS, although I found the artificial lemon flavour they used a bit off putting.

I know there are some that use cream cheese, have you tried those yet.

These are quite nice but you need to fry them small. Big ones were falling apart

There are loads of recipes with almond and or coconut flour. Check out Paleo or GF websites. Elanas pantry had good recipes

https://elanaspantry.com/silver-dollar-pancakes/ I would skip the agave and have in her recipes and they come out great.

Thank you, fingers crossed for Tuesday ;-) I will report back on success/failure

'....when a flick of water dances and dies....' - what a gorgeous expression!

And those pancakes sound delicious!

@ewelina I'm going to try your cream cheese ones! And thank you for your recent post about chia chocolate pudding - we love that in our house! I use milled chia, and a jar of homemade full fat yoghurt instead of the milk, which I used the first time as we'd run out of milk.... doh! - but it worked really well.

I love chis seeds, not only as chocolate pudding, but also sprinkled on full fat yogurt. Good idea to milled it first, whole grains look a bit funny

I've made these low carb waffles before in my Norwegian waffle iron, but you can make them without the iron to make pancakes. Make small ones in a frying pan and they are just like dropped scones. I am now fantasising about dropped scones topped with low carb lemon curd.

@ewelina I use milled chia in hot chocolate - it makes it gorgeously gloopy!

The process: Cadbury's Highlights plus a heaped tsp milled chia, boiling water, stir, wait 10 minutes, stir, go upstairs, clamber into with hot choc, drink it slurpily (which annoys my husband, bless him) while reading library book, lights out, zzzzzzzz.

Very, very comforting.

@Avocado Sevenfold those sound yummy too!

I sub the sugar for Splenda. So easy to make and much tastier than shop-bought.

These are surprisingly good - but you have to make them small, so you can lift them out of the pan in one go - they are quite fragile.

Using cornflour (2 heaped tablespoons to an egg)....

Cornflour is hardly low carb - it contains about 88g carbs per 100g weight - so 2 (15g) level tablespoonfuls would have 26-27g carbs... Plain flour is actually a fair bit less at 70g carbs per 100g. So always take care over and check so called low carb alternative ingredients.
