Protein Pancakes with Almond Flour
Sugar-free and sweetener-free recipe, to be made traditionally and also with Bimby.
They have become a cult in protein diets, and we find various recipes, but every food has its origins. Have you ever wondered if Pancakes are truly American or of Anglo-Saxon origin?
You won’t believe it, but the recipe originates from Greece, where they were called teganites, referring to the type of pan they were made in, although without yeast.
During their journey through Europe, they were enriched with yeast, and with the discovery of America, they were spread, eventually becoming the recipe for the delicious pancakes filled with maple syrup, jam, honey, or nuts.
