Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 3/4 cup / 180 ml milk
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup / 115g raw (or quickly blanched) broccoli
- 1/2 cup / 75 g wholemeal flour
- 1/2 cup / 75 g plain flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- butter for cooking
COTTAGE PANCAKES
Method
- Separate the eggs, which should be at room temperature
- In a large bowl mix the cottage cheese, milk, and egg yolks until smooth
- Stir in the broccoli, chopped into rice-sized bits
- In a separate (clean) bowl, beat the egg whites until they hold stiff peaks
- Sift the flours, baking powder, and salt into another bowl
- Add the flours to the cottage cheese mixture, and stir until just barely combined
- Gently fold the egg whites into the batter
- To cook, warm a griddle or pan over medium heat, melt a bit of butter in it, then spoon a little scoop (say dessertspoon) of batter into the pan for each pancake, working in batches
- You want to cook these relatively slowly, until each pancake is deeply golden on one side
- Flip each pancake, and wait until the other side is golden, and the pancake is cooked through
- Continue until you've worked through all the batter
- You can keep cooked pancakes in a 150 C oven until you finish, to keep them warm
- They're great simply with a pat of butter and a sprinkling of salt
- Or, if you want to get a bit fancy, whip up a bit of harissa, saffron or pesto-swirled salted yogurt
