Almond pancakes

Shrove Tuesday. Pancake day. Given the day I thought I'd try this out; it's just ground almonds and eggs, and beaten egg white (because I happened to have an extra egg white lying about). Don't need any extra liquid as you do with regular pancakes.

I don't think it would be possible to make the traditional thin pancakes that cover a whole pan by this method; they come out small and thick like Scotch pancakes, though lighter and fluffier with the egg white. A nice breakfast, occasionally, with cream and blueberries and maple syrup.
