Low carb, keto friendly "tiganites" (Greek pancakes), wheat flour free, gluten free, sugar free, with a nut free version and also diabetic friendly!
Keto / low carb
Pancakes was Sunday's breakfast that I usually had as a child at my paternal home, since my father liked them very much, and of course my mom used to make with pleasure, to please him. Always with wheat flour, water, salt and a few drops of lemon ...without yeast or baking powder. Pancakes had to be crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. My father used to say that the best way to test a good olive oil is to fry tiganites with it. So after several tests I think I managed to make keto tiganites that are very similar to the ones I remember! They are traditionally fried in olive oil but of course it can be replaced with coconut oil. For those who avoid nuts there are alternatives at the end of the recipe. There is not a substitute for the protein powder, cause it's the secret of success for this recipe.
