Because of my pageant background, people are always asking me what my talent is. I always reply: parallel parking and making iced tea. I’ve never done a pageant with a talent portion. 
Well, I just realized that I have another talent that I’ve not been sharing with people. Poaching eggs. Oh yeah, buddy. I can poach an egg like no other. And I love them. The problem is that you have to really have something to sop up the egg yolk when it’s prepared the way I like it and, since we’re not eating bread, toast is not an option.
The other day, I found this recipe for paleo pancakes. It’s delicious and we’ve been having it a couple of times a week. It’s a great sopper up of egg yolks. too. AND! Today I remembered to add cardamom to the mixture.
Delicious!
So here it is. The recipe makes three decent sized pancakes. I cook them on a griddle brushed with ghee. You could make two larger pancakes but the smaller size lends itself to flipping well.
