Cottage Cheese Pancakes

Savour the start of your day with a stack of these soft, pillowy pancakes topped with fresh strawberries and drenched in maple syrup. This breakfast features cottage cheese, though the taste of this small curd cheese is very subtle.  I'll be taking a bite of these fluffy pancakes on a relaxing, slow-paced morning while listening to Sade. How will you enjoy your stack?

Tips

Cheese

Although a large quantity of cottage cheese is whisked into this pancake batter, the taste is so subtle and mild. Even if you are not a fan of this small curd cheese I recommend you try it out!  If you want to use another cheese, I suggest ricotta.

Topping

I'm Québécoise so quality pure maple syrup is my go-to. Another option is a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogourt. Since it's strawberry season as well, I opted for this juicy fresh fruit for a pop of colour. If berries are not in season when you bake this breakfast, I suggest you top your pancakes with your jam of choice.

I’ve only tasted 2 of two of your recipes so far but this one is by far my favourite! Shortbread always reminds me of my time in Scotland!
