Marion Cunningham's Lemon Pancakes image

These spectacular pancakes, adapted from a Marion Cunningham recipe, are made with cottage cheese, lemon peel and beaten egg whites, which makes them puff up like a soufflé. You have to whip the egg whites using an electric mixer, so this is definitely a weekend or holiday affair, but goodness, are they ever worth it. Serve with blueberries or raspberries and a dollop of plain yogurt.

Time 25m

Yield 12 three-inch pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 eggs, separated
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup cottage cheese
1/4 cup (half a stick) butter, melted, plus more butter for greasing skillet
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest

Steps:

  • In a bowl, stir together the egg yolks, flour, cottage cheese, butter, sugar, salt and lemon zest until well mixed. In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the egg whites until they hold stiff peaks.
  • With large spoon or spatula, fold whites into yolk mixture, stirring gently until there are no yellow or white streaks.
  • Heat skillet or griddle over medium heat. Grease lightly and spoon out about three large tablespoons of batter for each pancake. Cook slowly for about 1 1/2 minutes, then turn pancake over and cook for about 30 seconds. Keep pancakes warm in 250-degree oven until ready to serve.

These pancakes were a bit too lemony for my taste. I think I'll use less lemon juice next time.

These pancakes were a hit with my family! They're light and fluffy, with a delicate lemon flavor. I served them with fresh berries and whipped cream, and they were perfect.
