    I like the low calorie number, but how many do you need to eat to feel full?

    I don't use them to feel full. I use them at the end of the day as a sweet treat with blueberries and low fat icecream so i usually only have 2. Or I will have them as a between lunch and dinner snack by themselves and once again only have 2. It's to treat or just take the edge off hunger between meals rather than a meal in themselves.

    I suppose they would make a pretty good breakfast and I think maybe 4 to 6 with a dollop of natural yoghurt would be enough and that would be about 200 to 300 calories.

    Thank you for the response. I will try these this weekend.

    I'm going to make the original OP's ones but using wholemeal flour instead & then filling them with chicken breast and melted cottage cheese for dinner then a lemon and honey one for dessert, can't wait :love:
    Now that's a great idea. Thanks for the ideas to vary for savoury and sweet and a great low cal meal. I'll be trying this myself.

    Cheers

    I'm not good with eyeballing inches when it comes to food. So how much should I pour into the pan for 1 pancake? (cup, oz, tbs, ml...) I'll be using a small frying pan since I'm making this for myself

    About 3 Tbs

    BUMP- yum. But what is cake flour? regular flour?
    I have the world's greatest kitchen tool called a Thermomix. I use it to mill my own flour so i use whole wheat.

    For cakes I sieve it to remove the husks but for the pancakes I use it as whole wheat flour with the husks included. It adds great texture and the fibre is great for you.

    Made these 3 weeks ago and they are excellent.

    Low Calorie Pancakes Recipe

    Makes 17 servings low calorie pancakes: 26 calories per serving. With the calorie content so low you can add blueberries for a sweet treat, cheese and chives and salmon for a savoury treat or just have plain alongside whatever else you are having. I really like it with a shake of cocoa powder and a teaspoon of low cal fig and ginger jam. Enjoy!

    Ingredients
    3/4 c. cake flour
    2 tsp. baking powder
    1 tsp. salt
    3/4 c. skim milk (I actually use 2% milk so each pancake is more like 30 calories each. :bigsmile: )
    2 egg whites
    Directions
    1. Sprinkle dash of salt on egg whites and beat until stiff, but not dry.
    2. Add milk to flour and salt. Beat until smooth.
    3. Add baking powder and beat a few seconds more
    4. Fold in beaten egg whites.
    5. Pour into the pan and turn once. Should be golden brown.

    Nutrition facts:
    Calories: 26
    Fat: 0.0g
    Cholesterol: 0mg
    Sodium: 149mg
    Carbohydrates: 5g
    Fibre: 0.1g
    Protein: 1.3g

    I doubled this recipe which is FANTASTIC! Doubling this recipe and substituting only one ingredient, Lite Salt, and using 1/4 cup batter for each pancake, I ended up with 18, 3"- 4" pancakes. However the nutrition count changes per pancake to: 44 calories, 0.1 g total fat, 0.8 mg cholesterol, 241 mg sodium, 91.7 mg potassium, 16.6 g carbs, 0 fiber and 0 sugar, 4.5 g protein. Still this recipe more than halves the calorie count per pancake from the Heart Smart Bisquick pancake recipe. And, what's more my husband and I couldn't tell the difference between the taste and texture of these pancakes over traditional pancakes. Thanks for this great recipe!
