I had one in the end (someone else was cooking them and offered me one), with rasins and maple syrup on, it was nice but I can't see myself ever bothering to make them, so there's no risk of me eating too many!

Many thanks for all your varied (and indeed,honest) replies on this thread...
I wasn't sure what to expect when mentioning pancakes on a Forum like this. :roll:

It's good to see that, even when an illness such as Diabetes affects so many people in different ways, a day comes along where we are able to 'cast off' some of our usual day-to-day health concerns and 'let go', just a little...

I hope that you all enjoyed the little bit of luxury that today brought... :wink:

For those who resisted the temptation of consuming a product that was 'risky', then well done to you also! :D

Regards,
Malc.

I forgot to mention that I had a total of 3 small,very thin pancakes this evening, with a sprinkling of splenda /lemon juice.
My Bg reading at 11pm tonight was 7.9 Could have been worse, considering that I had some fish & a few chips at lunch-time...

I read somewhere that you can replace the flour with ground almonds and replace the milk with sparkling water, i may give it a try :D

Whole-wheat past and rice, tastes horrible. Cats, spiders, and people who think nick jonas is a musician.
Chocolate inside ~drool~
American style fluffy pancakes, with a few chunks of dark chocolate in. Absolutely gorgeous.

Made soe with raisins, dried appl and cinnamon for my daughter. She absolutely loved them.
We had some for breakfast too haha.

I had a lovely stack (4) of pancakes last night :D Managed to get half way through and promptly felt rather sick!!
Might have over injected a tad as I injected for all 4 rather than waiting to see what I could manage and as a result ended up hypoing, never mind!

Never looking at another pancake for another year now, ugh! x

Pretty much. THe BBC has a recipe for american pancakes... i just swap out the sugar for sweetener, and use self raising and baking powder. Really thick batter, and absolutely gorgeous pancakes.
They cook perfectly on a hot plate.

People that can't listen to other people's opinions.
People that can't say sorry.
My best breakfast is pancakes with a little nutella spread and rolled up with fresh kiwi, strawberries on the side and used to be banana, but had to change the banana for something without quite a high giving blood level.

If I have a low carb meal such as chicken, sugar snaps, asparagus and brocolli and leeks , there is nothing like a pancake and a bit of fruit for carbs!!!!! To me its heaven!!!!!
