5 from 1 rating

Ingredients
 

  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon sugar, monkfruit if low carb
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1/4 cup whole milk
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup almond flour, the superfine blanched version is best, spooned and leveled
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 tbsp psyllium husk flakes
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, melted butter, milk, vanilla extract and water.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, psyllium husk, baking powder and salt.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the liquid ingredients and whisk until just combined.
  • Let the batter sit for 3-5 minutes to thicken.
  • Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. If your skillet is a good nonstick pan it shouldn't need any cooking spray, and the spray can actually burn fast if the pan is new. If the nonstick coating on your pan is a bit worn-off, spray the pan with cooking spray.
  • Scoop 2-tablespoons of batter per pancake into the hot skillet and use the spoon to spread it a bit so the pancake is about 2 ½” in diameter. You should be able to fit about 3 pancakes in the skillet.
  • Immediately, cover the pan with the lid and cook for about 3 minutes until the pancake begins to look set and bubbly. Uncover the pan and flip the pancakes, cover again, and cook for another 2-3 minutes or until fully cooked through. *You can test 1 pancake as a reference to ensure it’s cooked through and then you’ll know how long to cook the remaining pancakes for.
  • Enjoy pancakes right away.

Notes

  • The first pancake will ALWAYS be ugly and maybe cook unevenly or burn. Don’t worry, it’s normal! For some reason, the first pancake is never the prettiest. 
  • Psyllium husk flakes are the secret ingredient to giving these pancakes a real pancake-like texture. Technically it can be left out, but your pancake won’t be as fluffy with a real pancake-like texture. 
  • Make it dairy free: Swap the milk and butter for dairy-free alternatives! 
Most important tips: 
● Cover the pan while cooking! 
● Cooking the pancakes low and slow will yield fluffy, soft and evenly cooked pancakes.Don’t be tempted to rush please!
