THANKS!

These really are good, I made them over the weekend, I used
the brown rice flour and poured diabetic maple syrup all over them.

Be sure to mix a 1/4 cuo of the batter into the egg whites before folding them in. It makes it go faster and helps retain volume. Also, be sure to make all the pancakes as fast as possible as the egg whites will deflate over time.

Wrap any leftovers in plastic and freeze. They reheat perfectly in the toaster!

Thanks for the recipe Sgrinavi...I've got to try those sometime..
