Cottage Cheese Pancakes
June 19, 2010
I am not a big breakfast preparer, usually it’s just cereal unless we go out, which is when I get my pancake fix. I love
pancakes, who doesn’t! My mother had been telling me about a killer pancake recipe that was passed down from my aunt Esther. My sister was coming for the weekend so I decided to try them. These cottage cheese pancakes were very, very good! Adding the cottage cheese really changed it up creating a not so sweet pancake that needed only a small amount of maple syrup.
Now I have to share with you that when I purchased my cottage cheese, I did not realize that I had bought cottage cheese with chives. “Oops” is what I said when I took it out of the refrigerator….there was nothing I could do, I was not going back down to the store. My sister and I both agreed you could barely taste the chives, and I believe it really complimented the whole pancake. So I guess it was meant to be, my version of these cottage cheese pancakes now include chives. The optional ingredients that include sugar and lemon juice, indicated a more cake like taste. I have not tried this, if you do, please let me know what your thoughts are. Please enjoy!

- 2 cups cottage cheese, small curd
- ½ cup flour
- 6 tbsp. corn oil
- 6 eggs
- ¼ tsp. salt
- More oil for grilling
Optional:
- 1 tbsp. sugar and ¼ cup fresh lemon juice (taste more like cake)
In a large bowl mix all ingredients with an electric mixer until completely blended. (after mixing my aunt esther poured the batter into a blender to smooth the batter of any lumps from the cottage cheese). I let my batter rest for about 10 minutes before I started grilling my pancakes. On a griddle or a large non-stick pan, add a small amount of oil, and heat to medium. With a large ladle, spoon your batter onto your pan and cook on each side for about 3 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with warm maple syrup.
Makes about 12 medium size pancakes.
Total time: 30 minutes
