Steps:
- In a large bowl, whisk all ingredients together, until smooth. (Batter should be the consistency of typical pancake batter. If it's too thick, add a little more milk. Don't add too much, or the pancakes will be too "wet".)
- Preheat a lightly oiled large non-stick skillet on the stove over medium-low to medium heat. (See notes below on oil options.) Drop the batter onto the hot pan and form into circles. Cover with a lid (this is important!) and cook about 1.5-2 minutes, until bubbles start to form on the edges. Flip and cook, uncovered this time, for another 1.5-2 minutes, until browned on the other side. (I love this thin turner for easy flipping.) Repeat with the rest of the batter.

LOW-CARB PANCAKES
If you are watching your carbs and craving pancakes, here is a breakfast you will like. To obtain almond meal, put some almonds in your food processor and pulse them until they are the consistency of cornmeal. Be careful if you over-pulse, you will obtain almond butter :).

LOW CARB CREPES
I love crepes, and I got very tired of eggs for breakfast after going low-carb. These are best with savory ingredients (because of the buckwheat), but you could fill with berries and sugar-free whipped cream instead.

Steps:
- Whisk all ingredients together.
- Heat crepe pan or skillet on medium high heat. Oil pan with non-stick spray or butter.
- Measure 1/4 cup of batter into pan and swirl into a large circle, until batter no longer runs. Cook on first side until top appears dry and edges pull away from pan easily.
- Flip carefully, then cook on second side until lightly browned, being careful not to burn. Serve immediately. Oil the pan in between each crepe.
- If desired, fillings can be added right after first flipping the crepe. Spread shredded cheese and sliced ham or turkey across the surface. Cheese should be just melted as the second side is finished cooking. Fold in half to serve.
