Default CarbQuick Experiment #1

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!

Best
