@maglil55 is usually ace for this sort of thing.
Here’s the link for Sugar free Londoner’s version.
Have a good browse around her website, loads of easy recipes on there.

I really like Queen Keto's recipes. I haven't tried her pancakes, but the recipe is adapted from her Yorkshire puddings which are the best I have ever had. I can't post the link but if you Goggle Queen Keto crepes it should come up. They have lupin flour in them, I got mine from Morrison's but you can also get it online and I think I have seen it in Holland & Barrett too.

Never heard of pancake tuesday but it sounds good to me!
So I'm following this thread for recipes.
In the Netherlands we have Saint Pancake day on 29 november, which is celebrated by putting a pancake on your head before eating it. Not kidding, social media is full of people with pancakes on their head on that day. https://www.24oranges.nl/2016/11/27/saint-pancake-a-very-real-tradition-that-started-in-a-comic/

Thanks @Kernow Debra That actually looks quite straightforward.
I found it! Thank you @AbbayMel for another great resource.In this instance these are English pancakes and whilst I've nothing against good English fayre, Scottish pancakes are smaller, less crepe and more fluff, like American pancakes.
I looked at this @Antje77 and was about to start copying the comic into translator when I realised it was in English below. phewww. Please keep this link far away from my grown boys who would love it and need no excuse for being ridiculous.

That is so funny thank you for sharing. Our pancake day is on Shrove Tuesday and it's a pre lent tradition to use ingredients before the fasting of lent aheadNever heard of pancake tuesday but it sounds good to me!

So interesting, and I saw the pre-edited version briefly just before my screen refreshed. Did you just call me Antjepancake @MrsA2 ?
I fully approve of that new username!
As for the Dutch equivalent, I'm completely lacking on knowledge about both Carnaval and Lent/Vastentijd.
Carnaval is a thing in the Netherlands, but only 'below the rivers' (the south and traditionally Catholic part of my country), and I've always lived 'above the rivers'. I only found out it's the time of Carnaval this morning, because of the very odd choice of party music our aqua jogging trainer used. Dutch Carnaval music is erm, something else.
As for Shrove tuesday/Ash wednesday/Lent, both sides of my family have been agnostic for at least 3 generations, so I haven't really been aware of any of this.
Still, no reason to not eat pancakes on 13 february, or cook, paint and hide loads of eggs at easter!
And to stay somewhat on topic, a google search on 'drop scones keto' gives quite a few results. I haven't tried any of them so not sure if this is helpful.

This is a nice one more drop scone than pancake if that’s what your looking for @Margarettt

Make these fluffy keto pancakes with almond flour instead of regular wheat flour, or blitz ground almonds until fine if you can't get hold of it

I'm exactly the same @Antje77 . For many years I was a single mum to two boys and determined they would enjoy every celebration. As teenagers they believed they had to be home for dinner on these days and it stuck. Hence haggis on Burns day and St Andrews day. Pancake day for us has no more significance than the spooky pasta at Halloween or the baked potato (traditionally cooked in a bonfire) on Guy Fawks night. Its just a celebration.As for Shrove tuesday/Ash wednesday/Lent, both sides of my family have been agnostic for at least 3 generations, so I haven't really been aware of any of this.

Six years ago I acquired an American husband and got to add Thanksgiving and the 4th July to the reasons my grown up children HAVE to be at their mother's dinner table.
Thank you as ever @lovinglife . 7 carbs a serving is quite high for me but it looks like there are a few pancakes in a serving and I would only need one as a treat rather than a meal so perfect.
