COTTAGE CHEESE PANCAKES



Cottage Cheese Pancakes image

A breakfast of cottage cheese with ketchup and pepper might seem scandalous to some, but to President Nixon it was standard morning fare. The cottage cheese in these flapjacks adds nice texture and an old-fashioned flavor reminiscent of blintzes. If you want to top them with something red, I suggest strawberry syrup.

Categories     Brunch     Breakfast

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup plain cottage cheese
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 large free range eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 to 3 tablespoons unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese, oil, and eggs to create a batter. The batter will be lumpy from the cottage cheese, but that's the texture that's needed.
  • In a separate bowl, add the baking soda to the flour.
  • Sift the flour mixture over the cheese and egg batter and whisk thoroughly until there are no flour lumps. The batter is ready when it is light and frothy with bubbles on the surface. Set aside.
  • Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add some butter to sufficiently grease the pan and drop 1/4 cup of the batter into the pan.
  • Cook on one side for 2 to 3 minutes until bubbles are forming on the surface.
  • Flip over and cook for a further 3 minutes. If the skillet is large enough, you can make two or three at the same time. Remove from the pan and wrap in a tea cloth to keep warm while you repeat the process with the remaining butter and pancake batter.
  • Serve your pancakes warm with your favorite sides.
  • Enjoy!

POLISH COTTAGE CHEESE DIP (GZIK)



Polish Cottage Cheese Dip (Gzik) image

This is a simple dip with infinite possibilities. The classic version, called gzik, comes from the Wielkopolska province in Poland. It's built from a farmer's cheese called twarog, which is essentially a dry version of what Americans know as cottage cheese. The cheese, which comes molded into a thick disc, is mashed with a fork, then loosened with a few tablespoons (or more, depending on the dryness of the cheese) of yogurt or cream. Radishes and some members of the allium family, most often chives or onions, add flavor; dill or other herbs sometimes make an appearance. The classic way to eat it is on boiled or baked potatoes still in their jackets, but gzik on buttered rye bread is a popular breakfast dish. Although you can use any style of cottage cheese for this recipe, smaller curds work better than large because the dip should be slightly smoother than cottage cheese.

A few grinds of black pepper

  • Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.
