Don’t skimp on the fat in your frying pan. Butter and coconut oil make everything taste better. Consider a dollop of crème fraîche on top... so scrumptious!

Yes, you can freeze and reheat these.
If I want pancakes, I have to use the ingredients that make pancakes. If I use completely different ingredients, I get some other food that is not pancakes. It might be tasty, (and it probably has a better chance of being tasty if I am not anticipating pancakes) but it will not be pancakes.
I guess what I'm saying is, it works better for me if I call these "fried coconut egg patties" , and make them part of the radical change in my diet, which no longer includes foods dependent on grain flour for their taste and texture.
I was just thinking of the roots of the word *pancake*: pan cake, a cake made in a pan. So these are indeed little Coconut Pan-Cakes.
Happy keto eating!
