Fluffy Cottage Cheese Pancakes

Vegetarian

In these moist and tender pancakes, the cottage cheese adds quality calcium and protein. Serve with a bit of butter and maple syrup or, for a special treat, top with organic fig spread.

Serves 4

• 1 cup unbleached flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 4 eggs
• 1 cup cottage cheese
• 1/2 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons canola oil

In a large mixing bowl, blend the flour, baking soda, salt and sugar. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, milk and oil. Add the flour mixture to the liquid ingredients, whisking until completely blended.

Spray a skillet or a griddle with canola oil spray. Heat over medium. Drop batter by the quarter cup onto the hot skillet. Cook just a few minutes, checking the underside and adjusting the heat as needed. Flip when browned and continue to cook on the other side until lightly browned.
