I ended up throwing the batter in my blender for a minute and that made all the difference in the world. It thickened up so much I had to thin it out with a bit of milk. They still stuck a bit, but if I loosened the edges all the way around before attempting to flip the pancake, then it typically worked pretty well.
I didn't particularly love the way the first one tasted, so I added a pinch of salt and a pinch of sweetener to the remaining batter and that made them much more palatable.
Do you made these ahead of time?
Thanks,
Catherine
One tip: the batter needs to sit for about 5 minutes to thicken up otherwise it will seem pretty runny. Oh, and I use a lot of butter when I am frying them.
I have made these with creamed cottage cheese, dry curd cottage cheese ( adding a little cream to help blend), and ½ dry curd and ½ cream cheese. All versions are good. Usually double the amount given for the psyllium husk powder to get the mixture to thicken.
Taste great plain, with butter, cheese, ham, nut butters......
Some tricks I've learned cooking various types of pancakes over the years:
Make sure your pan is completely heated before adding the first pancake to it
Make sure your stove isn't too hot - I cook mine on a medium-low setting (3.5 out of 9 on my stove)
Don't lift your pancake to check if it's done - if you're not sure, it probably needs more time before you flip it
The second time I made this recipe I added 1 tbsp coconut flour and 1/4 teaspoon of xanthan gum and pulsed a few times in my Ninja blender. After blending, the texture was much better, sticker, and these looked had the mouth feel closer to what I was looking for. I never did manage to get them crispy, and these still are pretty much an egg dish, but they browned up beautifully and tasted great with some smashed overripened strawberries!
Right now with the blueberries, small amount of heavy cream on top my app is saying I already reached 12 net carbs with this breakfast. Does that sound right?
Cook in a hot pan with plenty of butter and served with thawed and warmed frozen mixed berries and pouring cream.
A winner in our house as an indulgent breakfast or a desert.

I am getting so confused with all the different "messages and advice" on Keto. I have been eating good cheeses for fat and just read from another Keto expert that dairy should be avoided. Especially if trying to lose weight. The same goes for Physillium. Ugh.
I do agree it sticks to pan, but I had some left over batter in fridge and realise that it does thicken it up if you leave it overnight. I've going to try some of the variations, like with cinnamon and vanilla. As well as a savoury alternative like one comment suggested.
Will also try the baking version as I still end up with some version of scrambled pancake! not patient enough, so probably easier to stick in the oven in a muffin tray while I potter around.
