Review

I read in another recipe for crackers to make them really thin, by folding the aluminum foil in half, and using a rolling pin to spread out the mixture.  It worked great, and made the crackers very even in thickness.  When they first came out of the over, they were still quite soggy and hard to cut into pieces.  The extra 5 minutes (I left them in about 8 minutes) really made the difference in making them crispy.

Crackers are wonderful when they are crispy and can be dipped in soup and not get soggy.  These crackers really meet the mark!  The first bite had that nice crunch!  They were thin enough to allow the crispiness, but thick enough to be satisfying.  I like the garlicky flavour, but would probably add even more garlic next time.  Dipped in the golden goddess soup (http://idealproteinrecipesandfoodreviews.blogspot.ca/2013/08/review-of-golden-goddess-soup.html) made for an extremely satisfying meal.  I loved the quantity of crackers, and they were sturdy enough to be dipped into the coup.

Review of the Crispy Cereal Pancake

Crispy Cereal Pancake Recipe

Crunch up a packet of Ideal Protein crispy cereal (I used a rolling pin before opening the package).

In a small bowl, whisk 2 egg whites, 
add 1/4 tsp of vanilla
add 1/4 tsp of baking powder
add cinnamon to taste

Add cereal to egg mixture and mix well.

Add a bit of water to get it to pancake batter consistency.

Cook just as you would a regular pancake, with a bit of olive oil in the frying pan.

Drizzle with Walden Farms pancake syrup.

Review

I couldn't believe how big and fluffy this pancake was.  And with the WF syrup, it tasted like the real thing.  This pancake was easy to make, and extremely satisfying.  It was airy, not heavy at all, and the size made it last a long time.  It looked better than the pancakes I made for the kids.  Definitely a winner, and a great use of the IP crispy cereal.  Best of all, it's unrestricted!  I will NOT be using the restricted pancake mix again.
