Cottage Cheese Pancakes With Crème Fraîche And Strawberries Recipe

Recipe:

Step 1: In a medium pan, toss the berries and sugar over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Set aside.

Step 2: In a large bowl, beat the egg yolks until thick. Add the milk and beat for another 30 seconds. Gently fold in the cheese.

Step 3: In a separate bowl, sift the flour, salt and sugar together and pour into the cheese mixture, stirring lightly.

Step 4: With an electric mixer or whisk, beat the egg whites on medium-high speed until they are stiff, but not dry. Gently fold the whites into the batter, just until combined.

Step 5: Heat a lightly oiled griddle or heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Ladle 1/4 cup of the batter onto a hot griddle for each pancake, leaving a bit of space between pancakes. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface of the pancakes, then flip.

Step 6: When done, spoon on berries and crème fraîche and serve.
