Pancakes

Ingredients:

5 tablespoons vanilla whey protein powder *

1 teaspoon baking powder (see update below)

Pinch salt

2 egg

2 teaspoon oil

4 teaspoons water, optional (see update below) **

Oil or cooking spray, for the pan

Directions:

Whisk all of the ingredients, except for the water and cooking spray, in a small bowl until smooth. Add up to 1 tablespoon of water if you'd like a thinner batter. Meanwhile, lightly grease a small nonstick skillet with oil or cooking spray and heat on medium. Pour in the batter and tilt the pan to spread the batter evenly over the bottom of the skillet. When bubbles appear all over the pancake and the batter on top looks like it's starting to set up carefully work a spatula around the edges and then under the pancake to flip it over. Cook until the second side is lightly browned. Don't let it get too dark or it will taste a little bitter. Serve with butter and low carb syrup, if desired (not included in the counts).

Makes 2 large pancake

* The counts are based on using Body Fortress brand whey protein powder.
