SYN FREE PANCAKES

This first recipie is already on here but had to include it in my recepies as I made them last night and there were YUMMY!
So thank you Sweet Cheeks for the inspiration! :flowers:

SYN FREE PANCAKES

Ingredients
1 x egg per pancake
3 x heaped teaspoons of sweetener
4 x drops of vanilla essence

Method
1 - Seperate your egg and put the white and the yolk into seperate bowls.

2 - Hand whisk the egg white until fluffy and then add the sweetener, stir.

3 - Add the vanilla essence to the yolk, stir, and the slowly fold into the egg white.

4 - Spray a frying pan with fry light and when hot add the mixture, spread in the pan as you would a normal pancake.

5 - After a few mins flip over the pancake (be careful as they are more delicate than usual pancakes) and then they are done!

6 - Fill or cover with whatever takes your fancy. My personal favourite is strawberries with a bit more sweetener sprinkled over the top.

ENJOY!
