Passover Cottage Cheese Pancakes Recipes

COTTAGE CHEESE PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda. Stir in cottage cheese, milk, egg whites, and vanilla.
• In a large nonstick skillet, heat 2 teaspoons oil over medium. Working in batches, drop cottage cheese mixture by 1/4 cupfuls into pan (2 or 3 at a time).
• Cook until bottoms are set and tops have small bubbles, about 1 minute. Turn pancakes and cook until just firm in the center, 1 to 3 minutes more. Repeat, using remaining 3 teaspoons oil for the other batches.

CHEESE LATKES (FOR PASSOVER)

Steps:

• Beat the eggs and sugar for a few minutes until pa;e and somewhat increased in volume.
• Beat in the farmer cheese.
• Add the butter, vanilla extract, and salt.
• Slowly stir in enough matzo meal to make a batter that holds together.
• In a skillet, heat oil, and drop the batter by tablespoonfuls into the hot oil.
• Flatten the pancakes slightly with the back of a spoon, and fry for 3-4minutes on each side.
• Don't crowd the pan. Add more oil if needed.
• Drain the latkes on paper towels and serve sprinkled with cinnamon.
• Sour cream and/or jam is a great accompaniment.
