MARION CUNNINGHAM'S LEMON PANCAKES



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.

Fluffy Cottage Cheese Pancakes Recipe image

These cottage cheese pancakes are fluffy, delicious, easy to make and have really simple ingredients. They also reheat really well in the toaster if you have leftovers.

Provided by Natasha of NatashasKitchen.com

Categories     Easy

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 8

16 oz small curd cottage cheese
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 Tbsp honey
4 large eggs
1/3 cup raisins (regular or white raisins)
1 cup plus 2 Tbsp all purpose flour (*measured correctly)
1 tsp baking soda
2 Tbsp extra light olive oil ( for each batch)

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs until well beaten. Add 16 oz cottage cheese, 1 tsp vanilla, 3 Tbsp honey and whisk until combined. Stir in 1/3 cup raisins, if using.
  • In a separate small bowl, whisk together 1 cup + 2 Tbsp flour and 1 tsp baking soda (if your baking soda has any lumps at all, sift it into the flour). Whisk the dry ingredients into your wet ingredients.
  • Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium/low heat and add 2 Tbsp oil. Once the oil is hot, place a heaping tablespoon of pancake batter into the hot oil and sauté until golden and puffed up (about 2-3 min per side). I recommend a splatter guard since these do create a little bit of a splatter. If it's splattering alot, turning the heat down will help. Serve warm with sour cream, maple syrup, fruit or jam, or all of the above!

Yield Makes 20 (3-inch) pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/3 cup chopped onion
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
7 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 1/2 cups whole-milk cottage cheese
3 large eggs
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 200°F.
  • Cook onion, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper in 2 tablespoons butter in a small heavy skillet over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 12 minutes. Transfer to a bowl, then add cottage cheese, eggs, flour, 1/4 cup butter, remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt, and remaining 1/8 teaspoon pepper and whisk until combined.
  • Brush a 12-inch nonstick skillet with some of remaining butter and heat over moderate heat until hot but not smoking. Working in batches of 5, scoop 1/8-cup measures of batter into skillet and cook until undersides are golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip and cook until undersides are golden brown and pancakes are cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes more. Transfer to a baking sheet and keep warm in oven. Brush skillet with butter between batches if necessary.

Tips:

  • Use fresh lemon zest. Fresh lemon zest adds a bright, citrusy flavor to the pancakes. If you don't have fresh lemon zest, you can substitute 1/2 teaspoon of bottled lemon juice.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the pancakes tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat. Cooking the pancakes over medium heat will help them cook evenly without burning.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately. Cottage cheese pancakes are best served immediately after they are cooked. They can be topped with butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Cottage cheese pancakes are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch option. They are light and fluffy, with a slightly tangy flavor from the cottage cheese. The lemon zest adds a bright, citrusy flavor that perfectly complements the cottage cheese. These pancakes are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
