My mom was the master pancake maker (though we always called them patty-cakes), so I grew up thinking that breakfast equalled pancakes and meat of some sort, and often egg. Daddy was partial to buckwheat pancakes (and I like them a great deal also), but when one eats low-carb, is there really a satisfactory pancake? YES! Thank you, Dana Carpender! From her great cookbook:
Mix together:
2 eggs
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
1/4 cup whey protein powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/8 tsp salt
We also add in some cinnamon. Don't know the measure on that - just toss some in and the batter darkens up a bit.
Grease your iron skillet over medium heat and cook away. The pancakes are ready to flip when the bubbles form, pop, *and don't fill in again.* Makes enough pancakes for two people to enjoy.
I made these for breakfast this morning - we have them quite often - and I thought: what a winner! I'd have loved to have made some for mom to see if they'd have passed muster. I'm thinking, they would.
