Life without pancakes would be a sorry thing indeed...

I made some last night as my first venture into the world of soya flour. They were wonderful, especially with a splodge of low carb strawberry jam. Reminded me of the cornmeal pancakes I used to make out of my Gran's 1930's Meta Givens cookbook.

30 grams soya flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon splenda (or equivalent of your favorite)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg
2 ounces whipping cream + 2 ounces water to make 4 ounces of *milk*
a splash of vanilla extract
two teaspoon melted butter

Mix the whole lot together into a thick batter and use to make small pancakes... three to four inches. Fry in a dry (melt the butter for the batter in it an pour it out) non stick pan over medium heat and don't even consider turning them until the bubbles have popped and they look dry on top... don't even check to see if they need to be turne. My first one was a real mess. Delicious, but still a mess.

I suspect they'd be even better with sugar free syrup, but I've not yet found a place to acquire that in merry old England.
