Pancakes

Last weekend I placed my first order with netrition.com, and was very pleased with the prices (minus Atkins bars, those were a bit pricey compared to Walmart), shipping costs ($4.95 flat rate shipping!), and speed of delivery (as promised, my order arrived in two business days). I ordered two 3 lb boxes of Carbquik, and 10 bags of Kelp Noodles! So exciting. It's been a while since I have had a box of Carbquik handy, so naturally, I have been experimenting, and all I can say is that these pancakes are GOOD! I followed the recipe on the side of the Carbquik box (adding about a tbsp. of Splenda, and a tsp. of vanilla extract), and wow! I served them with Sugar Free IHOP Syrup, but if you're avoiding sugar alcohols, these pancakes are buttery and delicious plain.

Ingredients

• 2 cups Carbquik
• 1/8 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup water (or use 3/4 cup half-and-half instead of cream and water)
• 1 stick butter (melted) --I used Smart Balance Original Buttery Spread
• 1 egg, beaten
• 2 tablespoons water
• Vegetable oil sprays
• 1 tbsp. granulated Splenda
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• Sugar Free IHOP syrup (optional)

Instructions

• Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Adjust water as needed to make a smooth, pourable batter
• Mix just enough to combine all ingredients. Do not over mix. 
• Ladle portions onto sprayed griddle or frying pan heated to medium high heat. 
• Flip when bubbles form and edges are cooked.
• Serve with sugar free syrup if desired.
