From your shelf
- 1 cup [240 ml] peach flavored 1% lowfat small curd cottage cheese, peach (Shoprite)
Staples
- 3/4 cup [95 g] flour
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 tablespoons [28 g] butter
- 1 tablespoon oil
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter and let it cool slightly. Crack 2 eggs into a bowl and whisk them, then whisk in 3/4 cup flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until just combined; do not overmix. Fold in 1 cup peach cottage cheese until streaky.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Working in batches, pour 1/4 cup batter per pancake onto the skillet and let cook until the edges look set and bubbles rise to the surface, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until golden, about 1 minute more.
- Transfer pancakes to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter. Serve warm.
Note Swap the cottage cheese for ricotta if you have it, or thin yogurt beaten with a fork. Leftovers keep in the fridge for two days and reheat in a toaster oven at 350°F [175°C] for five minutes. Serve with honey, jam, or fresh fruit on the side.
