My Flaxseed Hamburger "Buns"

1/4 Cup Flaxseed Meal ...... ?g Carbs
1/8 tsp Onion Powder ....... .2g Carbs
1/8 tsp Baking Powder ...... .3g Carbs
1 packet Splenda ............. .9g Carbs
1/8 tsp salt .........................0g Carbs
2 tbsp hvy cream (1oz) ..... .8g Carbs
2 Large Eggs ............... 1.2g Carbs
1/2 tbsp sunflower seeds ... .4g Carbs

I chop the sunflower seeds up coursely in a little food processor. Then add the two eggs and cream, whirr that up good. In a bowl, add all the dry ingredients, mixing well. Add the egg, cream and sunflower mixture to the dry ingredients, stir well. Fry like a pancake in a lightly oiled skillet. Monitor it with a pancake turner...you can't tell when to turn it just by looking in my experience.

The batter seemed to do better after it sat for a few minutes...raised more when I cooked it. Makes three average-size pancakes.

I'm showing it at 3.8 carbs right now, not including the Flaxseed meal which is confusing me...I've heard differing values for it, ie seeds have one value, meal has another per tablespoon.
