Cottage cheese Pancakes

1 1/4 cup AP flour
2T sugar
2t baking powder
3/4 t salt
1 1/3 cup milk
1 egg slightly beaten
3 T oil
1/2 cup cottage cheese


Combine first 4 ingredients in a large bowl. Add remaining ingredients and mix just until moistened. Fold in cottage cheese.

I got the idea for this from THE BEST THING I EVER ATE on food network. The original was made using ricotta cheese and blue berries, well i had neither of these so i improvised.

I forgot to add the oil and used twice the cottage cheese in the first draft. The pancakes tasted great but were a bit cheesy and a bit thin. Please feel free to offer some feed back on this one, as it is a work in progress.

We served it up with some oven baked bacon and maple syrup.

  1. Tony this sounds fabulous! Yum to adding Blueberries even to the cottage cheese version I think would be great! and OVEN BAKING BACON!! I learned this on Food Network channel can't remember which chef, probably Rachel Ray. I WILL NEVER FRY BACON AGAIN!! except for in a cast iron skillet on an open fire camping! there is nothing better!

  2. I have to agree wtih the oven bacon, the only better way is deep fried and that's a tough call.
