Cottage Cheese Pancakes
What else is there to do when it's 90 degrees by 10:30am? Shut the windows, turn on the AC and cook something delicious for your kids since they never actually ate their breakfast (unless you count the yogurt pops).
Then, while you write about it, let the kids flood the bathroom* because a recipe this good cannot be kept secret.
I have made cottage cheese pancakes a few times and I think I've finally perfected a recipe that is quick and easy with great results.
The girls topped theirs with jam and then rolled them up. We ate every last one.
Cottage Cheese Pancakes
Makes approximately 12 pancakes (3 inches in diameter)
3 eggs
1 cup cottage cheese
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
Dash of cinnamon and pinch of nutmeg (more or less depending on how "spicy" you like things)
1 Tbsp. Agave nectar (maple syrup or honey would work too)
Butter for frying
Heat a large skillet to medium-low. Using a hand mixer and large bowl, or a blender, blend all ingredients until batter is smooth.
Put a small amount of butter on the pan and swirl it around. It should bubble a bit. The batter is thin so don't over-pour. I fit 3 pancakes at a time on my 11 inch non-stick skillet (yes, I still use non-stick for delicate things. I almost burned down the house once trying to season cast iron and I have been scared to try again!).
They are ready to turn when the edges start to firm up and your instincts tell you to go for it!
Let me know how yours turn out and what you topped them with. The possibilities seem endless.
* The girls helped "clean" the mess in the bathroom themselves. There was also toothpaste involved.

This is a gorgeous photo and it inspires me to try the recipe, but not now because it's 100 degrees in my kitchen. Thanks!
Mmm. We're going to make those. My girls are always open to trying new pancakes. I wish I had cottage cheese right now.
I was just trying to decide what to do with the cottage cheese in my fridge. Yummy!
