Flourless psyllium pancakes

Tasty, tempting pancakes for anyone watching what they eat! This is a delicious dish! What makes these pancakes special is that they contain no flour at all. They come out delicate and airy, and best of all, they fit right into a healthy diet. The flour's job here is done by psyllium — a product made from the seeds of the plantain herb. It's packed with beneficial nutrients and is great for a gluten-free diet.

  • The method for these pancakes couldn't be simpler:
  • Start with a good deep bowl for mixing the batter. Crack in the eggs, add salt, and whisk everything with a fork or whisk. For speed and extra fluffiness, you can beat the eggs with a mixer or a blender's whisk attachment.
  • Mix the psyllium (I use a scant teaspoon) with any powdered sweetener or sugar — this keeps it from clumping. If your sweetener is liquid, try whisking the psyllium gently straight into the egg mixture instead. Either way, add the psyllium-sugar mixture to the eggs and stir.
  • Pour in warm milk mixed with warm water and stir until you get a batter that's just right for cooking on the stovetop, scooping it out with a spoon or ladle.
  • You can let the batter rest for a bit; meanwhile, thoroughly heat a flat-bottomed skillet. Heat a little vegetable oil in it and fry the pancakes on both sides until done, flipping with a spatula.
  • This amount makes about ten standard thin pancakes. They're delicious on their own, but if you want variety, add vanilla or cinnamon for a sweet version — or a little paprika and onion/garlic powder for a savory one. Serve the pancakes cold or hot, with or without a filling. Enjoy!
