Low Cholestrol Pancakes

I have hereditary high cholesterol and try to avoid most forms of cholesterol.  I avoid all red meat (it now gives me digestion problems) all dairy and limit my intake of poultry.  What I have been experimenting with is recipes for mainstream foods that are ‘Jim compatible’.  Here is my first recipe

  • 3/8 C AP Flour
  • 3/8 C Corn Meal
  • 1 1/2 t Baking Powder
  • 1 1/2 t Sugar
  • 1/4 t Salt
  • 1/2 C Soy Milk
  • 2 T Egg Whites
  • 1 T Vegetable Oil

Mix the 5 dry ingredients together in a large mixing bowl (large enough to hold the liquid ingredients later).  In a separate bowl or measuring cup, blend the soy milk, egg whites and oil together.  Now mix the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients.  Cook the pancakes on a hot pan or griddle.  I usually use 1/4 C of batter for each pancake.  Top with grade B maple syrup and enjoy.  The use of corn meal in the batter gives the pancakes a different texture, a bit coarser than regular pancakes, but a bit smoother than corn bread (a future recipe).

Makes a large meal for one person or a small meal for 2 to share.  The amounts are a bit unusual because I halved the recipe.  It made too much for one sitting.
