Who said pancakes need to have flour in them? Oh yes, not me!! Looking for low sugar and low carb alternatives for foods isn’t the easiest thing to do, but if you play around with different ingredients, it’s surprising what you can make.
For this, I used Quark, but you could use any old cream cheese, including mascapone, and possibly even Philadelphia. These also happen to be gluten free, which is also a boost, if that’s what you’re looking for.
I mixed this in a wee jug with a hand whisk. No fancy high tech gadgets around here for these.
