Recipe- Faux Swedish Pancakes (Stephanie)

 Faux Swedish Pancakes

You all know by now that I  LOVE pancakes. Well, Swedish are my all time favorite, yet they are loaded with sugar! Additionally, they require flour -which I cannot have right now (well maybe coconut? I'll have to look into that), because I am back on South Beach Diet Phase 1 to cure the sugar bender I went off on the last few weeks (luckily I didn't over do it and never gained weight back!).

Any way, these are faux pancakes, so they are not as great as the original, but still pretty good. Here is what the one I made today looks like. Yep, I had to take a bit before I could bust out the camera (too hungry!). I made this one thicker than usual. I typically split the "batter" and make 2 from it so that they are thinner and crispier. I'll add a photo of that next time ;)

Recipe:

Combine one large egg (whole), the egg white from one large egg, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1tsp stevia, 1 Tbs 2% milk. I just use a fork to whip it all up until the egg yolk and milk look like they are evenly mixed. Don't over do it! Too many air bubbles makes it too fluffy.

If you are using a small skillet, I typically use a 4-5 inch one -depending on what is clean, it should make two thin ones. In the photo above, like I said, I was lazy and just made one. So, it was a little thicker than traditional Swedish pancakes.  If you use a larger pan, one is probably going to be thin enough. Either way, they are good, they just don't get as crispy when they are thicker.

Serve up your "pancake" with a splash of sugar free syrup and a cup of 2% milk for around 230 calories! If you are on a low carb diet, add in a healthy meat of choice or some veggies. Or, if you don't care about carbs, add a slice of 15 grain toast and top with fruit!
