Recipe Introduction
Can't afford the high price of pre-packaged low carb pancake mix?
Try this recipe for protein pancakes.
The unprocessed bran flakes add a little dignity and bite to these
very economically made low carb egg white pancakes. The high
fiber content of the unprocessed bran flakes drops the effective
carb count to just 6 grams!
List of Ingredients
1/4 cup unprocessed bran flakes
10 large egg whites
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
1 packet artificial sweetener
1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
Recipe
Whip egg whites and cream of tartar with hand mixer until stiff peaks
develop (if you neglect to do this, your pancakes will have a flat,
omelet-like texture). Fold in remaining ingredients and mix well. The
batter will be stiff and foamy. Spray skillet with non-stick cooking spray
and spoon in batter. Cook until each side is lightly browned. Serve with
butter replacement and sugar-free syrup if desired.
Food Fact: Cream of Tartar isn't a liquid cream, it's a fine powder found
in the spice aisle at the supermarket. Cream of tartar is a baker's secret
to maintaining the fluff and height of egg whites that have been beaten into
a stiff foam. It helps maintain form while being mixed with other heavier
ingredients in merengues and icings. Makes 1 serving.
