Hello all,
I have been playing around with a few of my pre-diabetic favourites. The above being one of them (In the words of my Diabetes Nurse who lacks a bedside manner "You've eaten yourself into this mess, you can eat your way out!").
Anyway. I have this as a treat still, which I think makes it seem naughtier than it is.
Recipe as follows:
Serves Three/Four:
Pancakes:
2 Medium Eggs
6 oz of Wholemeal Plain Flour
2 Heaped Tablespoons of Non-Fat Greek Yoghurt (Total?)
1 teaspoon of Baking Powder
250mls of Milk (I use unsweetened Soya Milk, but you could use Skimmed Milk or Rice Milk)
2 Teaspoons of Powdered Sweetener
Mix all together and whisk to avoid lumps. Ladle dollops into hot non-stick pan, or pan brushed with rapeseed oil/sunflower oil. My tip is to try and not move the pan around whilst the first side is cooking, and let all the bubbles form. Then you get a nice light pancake.
Serve with Bacon Medallions, grilled or oven-baked. I made my own sugar free maple syrup by dissolving 4 tablespoons of powdered sweetener into 200mls warm water, and adding a few drops (to taste) of maple Essence (available near the food colouring shelves) and a few drops of good vanilla extract.
Does the job on a lazy Sunday morning...
