Helen'S High-Protein Low-Carb Pancakes - cooking recipe

Ingredients

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

Preparation

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.).
Spoon onto preheated, oiled griddle and cook as usual.
Serve with butter and low-carb syrup, or sour cream and berries.
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.
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.
