Okay - my CarbQuick arrived from Netrition last night. So this morning I
made two pancakes by modifying a couple of recipes I found at the sites
mentioned here (Carbquick & Bisquick)

I mixed in a small bowl:
3/8 c. almond breeze original (no sugar)
1/8 c. eggbeaters
1 Tbs. Splenda
1/2 tsp. vanilla

Then added:
1/2 c. CarbQuick + a little more for a thicker batter
Mixed well then folded in 1 Tbs. melted coconut oil.

Cooked on a griddle at medium high heat just like normal pancakes.

They were really wonderful. I was amazed. Of course I added butter and had
my favorite fake sausage patty (Morningstar farms). I need to try a lower
carb syrup though. I used maple grove and it had 11 carbs for 1/4 c. Is
DaVincis pancake syrup good? I'd like to cut that down as much as possible.

Here's the really good part:
I got up with a fasting bg 115 (I'm normally a little lower than than)
1 hour after my big breakfast - 122 bg
2 hours after = 99 bg.

I'm making Susan's apple cake tonight. Thanks again for all the good info!

Anyone Downunder know if any of these products are available here I have
never seen them anywhere.

The DaVinci's syrup is like water. At least I thought so. Smelled very
mapley but didn't have much of a maple taste. I haven't found any low carb
syrup that I thought was worth eating. I don't eat pancakes much. I will
occasionally make gluten free, dairy free and egg free ones for my daughter.
They don't taste like real pancakes but that's as close as I can get. I
will occasionally have a dime sized one with a drop of real maple syrup on
it. That's about as good as it gets for me.

I don't know about CarbQuick but there is a section in just about every
health food store that sells the low carb items, sometimes Atkins' foods but
everything is usually horribly expensive. Like I wouldn't pay $12 to make a
dozen small cookies for example.

There's Sorbee, which is 3g carb per 1/4 cup.

I've tried the original maple and blueberry flavors. I do NOT recomend
blueberry! I can't remember much about the maple flavor but I did finish
the bottle so I guess it wasn't too bad. I usually buy Cary's, which is 12g
per 1/4 cup but it's all sugar alcohols. Normally that stuff kills my
stomach but I generally use only 2 tbsp at a time and Cary's syrup has never
bothered me.

I tried the Cary's once. It was like water to me too. Didn't like it at
all.
