I keep to between 20 - 30g of carbs a day and I made these actual pancakes this morning, this is a picture of my breakfast
🙂.
This is a post I just made on my own page on Facebook which I started in August to keep track of my adventures into cooking for a keto lifestyle.
I adapted some recipes I'd seen and these are keto-friendly made with almond and coconut flour and psyllium husk and come in at around 2-3 g of carbs per pancake.
They are yummy and easy to do. I used psyllium husk because I like it as both extra fibre and as an ingredient that holds stuff together but I think if you doubled the eggs you could manage without it.
Recipe I used although I'm sure it will work without you being completely strict on measurements:
This makes four small but very filling pancakes.
1 large egg (UK sizes)
2 tablespoons of almond flour.
2 teaspoons of coconut flour.
1 tablespoon of psyllium husk powder.
1/4 teaspoon of baking powder
ground cinnamon to taste - I used about a 1/4 teaspoon
1 teaspoon of melted butter
three drops of vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon sweetener which I powdered.
4 tablespoons of double cream.
Method.
Mix all the dry powdery stuff together until it looks like one thing and not lots of things. I did this in a pyrex jug ready for when I add the liquid later.
melt the butter if you haven't already and then crack the egg into it and whisk it with a fork. Once it looks like a nice pale yellow custardy type mix (no greasy butter pools nor obvious yellow and white showing) add the double cream and whisk again until you have a nice mixture.
Pour the liquid into the dry stuff and mix together. I left mine quite caky - you can add more liquid - maybe another small egg if you want a more liquid batter but I found the caky mixture much easier to deal with and it turned out nice and solid.
Heat a small pan - I used one of the tiny ones you can buy which is the right size for frying one egg. Melt some butter in it.
Then put about a quarter of your mixture into the pan. It doesn't spread the way ordinary pancake batter does. I found if I lifted it off the heat and gently shook it, it spread nicely - right up until the last one which was more rebellious than the others.
Do the usual thing you do with pancakes and wait for little pin pricks to show at the top surface and then using a spatula carefully turn it over and cook the other side.
Repeat for the other three.
They stay warm while you do them all and you can top them with whatever toppings you like best. I stuck with butter and a small amount of lemon juice and a sprinkle of sweetener - traditional and keto-friendly.
