Helen's High-protein Low-carb Pancakes

Total Time: 15 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients

• 3 eggs
• 1/4 cup flax seed, ground
• 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Recipe

• 1 mix all ingredients together and stir well. (optional: you may also add one packet of artificial sweetener if you are accustomed to recipes that call for sugar.).
• 2 spoon onto preheated, oiled griddle and cook as usual.
• 3 serve with butter and low-carb syrup, or sour cream and berries.
• 4 note: if you want the batter a little thinner, stir in water, 1 tablespoon at a time. batter will thicken as it sits, so if you refrigerate it till the next day, you will probably need to thin it. if the batter is too thin, stir in a little more flax.
• 5 also note: flax seed should always be fresh ground (keep a dedicated coffee grinder for this purpose) or stored in the freezer. you may use either regular (brown) flax, or golden flax, which produces a lighter texture and color. you can often get it in bulk bins at your health food store for a great price.
