Pineapple Syrup
Ingredients:
1/2 cup water
1 tsp pineapple extract
1/2 Tsp liquid splenda (or 1/2 cup granular)
1/4 tsp guar gum
Heat water, extract and splenda until boiling. Add guar gum and let stand. It thickens a LOT. (0 carbs with liquid; if you have to use granular, it would be 12 carbs, which may bring the total too high).
Ham Sauce
Ingredients:
1 Tbsp butter
1 tbsp soy flour
1/4 cup light cream
1/4 cup water
1 tsp Dijon mustard
4 oz ham, chopped
Melt butter, stir in flour. Add cream and water, and mustard, stirring until thickened. Add ham. Serve over crepes.
Serves 2 (2 crepes each), including Dottie's crepes: 6.7 carbs (5.7 NET carbs)
This is really not a lot of trouble, especially if you make the crepes ahead. I freeze them between layers of wax paper in a ziplock bag and just defrost before using
