Helen'S High-Protein Low-Carb Pancakes

1. 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. 2

   Spoon onto preheated, oiled griddle and cook as usual.

3. 3

   Serve with butter and low-carb syrup, or sour cream and berries.

4. 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. 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.
