A delicious twist on traditional pancakes, just in time for Pancake Day. Perfect for one meal or make the whole batch and keep half in the fridge to enjoy the next day.
Ingredients
300g cottage cheese
2 large eggs
4 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup plain flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
Splash of milk
Method
Whisk the eggs well, add the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar and mix till smooth.
Add in the cottage cheese and mix till all combined.
Adjust the consistency with a splash of milk until you have a nice glossy thick batter.
Allow to rest for at least 5 minutes before frying on medium to low heat in just a little oil in a good heavy non-stick pan. When bubbles have formed on the top of the pancake, and it’s dried out a little you know it’s time to flip. This usually takes around 2 – 3 minutes each side.
Serve warm with a topping of your choice – here I’ve topped with yoghurt, granola and black cherry compote. Enjoy!
