Oh. My. Good<\/em>ness! Don\u2019t be intimidated if you\u2019re not a cottage cheese fan. These pancakes are freakin\u2019 good. <\/p>\n

I found the recipe in this Feed Your Skin<\/i> book <\/a>and the kids gobbled them up. They don\u2019t need better skin; they just like good pancakes. We didn\u2019t have the blueberries for the fruit syrup (so much for skin-boosting antioxidants\u2026) but using plain maple syrup still made them incredible. I would like to try them with the blueberries next time because I think the sweetness would just intensify the experience. <\/p>\n

These take a little more work than using batter out of a box but are so very much worth it. <\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • 4 whole eggs <\/li>\n
  • 1 cup small-curd cottage cheese<\/li>\n
  • 1\/4 cup melted butter<\/li>\n
  • 1\/4 cup sifted whole wheat flour (we used white wheat<\/em>) <\/li>\n
  • 1\/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest<\/li>\n
  • 1\/4 teaspoon salt<\/li>\n
  • canola oil or melted butter for greasing up the pan<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Combine egg yolks, cottage cheese, butter, flour, lemon zest, and salt in a large bowl. Stir until batter is smooth and thick (the cottage cheese will make it look a little lumpy).<\/p>\n

    In another bowl, using an electric mixer or a whisk, beat the egg white into a thick foam until soft peaks appear. <\/p>\n

    Gently fold the egg whites into the batter. <\/p>\n

    Heat griddle or a large skillet over medium high heat. When a drop of water skips over the surface of the pan, it\u2019s ready. Lightly brush the pan with oil or add a a little butter to the skillet. Drop the batter by large spoonfuls onto the skillet. The pancakes spread a little as they cook, so leave 2 to 3 inches between each one. (Making three at a time was no problem in our average-sized skillet.) Cook until the edges of the pancake are set, about 2 minutes. Flip over and cook another 2 minutes.<\/p>\n

    Serve the pancakes topped with syrup. <\/p>\n
