Easy Recipes for Dieters

Down in the deep, deep South lies a plain of flapjacks filled with pools of butter and maple syrup.  

With all that sweetness and fat, many of we-Southerners find it difficult to fasten our belts in the good ole Cotton Belt.

But that's about to change with this delicious diet recipe that oozes with Southern Comfort without all the fat, sugar and high calories.  

We've kept the butter - but we've reigned in the amount so there is just enough to produce this delicious meal fit for any proud or sorry Southerner.

How to Prepare

Reduce heat and remove the mixture from the pan, then add 1 Tablespoon of butter (or margarine) to the pan.  Be sure that pan isn't too hot or butter will burn.

Next, add a couple Tablespoons of white flour to the melted butter to form a thick buttery paste. Next, add about 2 cups of warm skim milk.

Stir until thick. Add salt and pepper.

If sauce is too thick, add more milk.  If sauce is too thin, add a bit of cornstarch mixed with a bit of water when tends to blend better with hot mixtures than flour.
