Ingredients
  • 3 large eggs, separated, yolks lightly beaten
  • 1 cup full- or low-fat cottage cheese
  • ¼ tsp vanilla extract
  • ⅛ cup sugar
  • ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ tsp baking powder
  • ⅛ tsp salt
  • few dashes cinnamon
Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat egg whites on medium-high speed until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  2. In a separate mixing bowl stir together egg yolks, cottage cheese, vanilla, sugar, flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter with a rubber spatula.
  3. Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium-high heat. Melt a bit of butter in it; heat until a drop of batter sizzles slightly upon contact. Scoop about ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake, working in batches. Cook until surfaces bubble and edges are set, about 1 minute. Flip pancakes, cooking about 3 minutes more until undersides are golden brown. Repeat process until you have worked through all the batter. These pancakes tend to deflate a bit after cooking, so serve immediately for the fluffiest results. Serve with maple syrup, berries, jam, powdered sugar, or just a simple pat of butter.
