An Old Favorite

My blog has DOZENS of pancake recipes and photos of pancakes that I have made or that we’ve eaten somewhere else. Somehow I have missed one favorite: cottage cheese pancakes. Along with one or two other favorites, it came from a very old baking book that we have had for years:

This morning, Len made the pancakes.

Today's pancakes have added blueberries.

We like real maple syrup on all kinds of pancakes.

Recipe: Cottage Cheese Pancakes

2 oz butter 
1 cup cottage cheese
4 beaten eggs 
1/2 cup flour
1 tsp. baking powder 
2 tablespoons milk
Optional: add a few berries or raisins.  

Melt butter. Stir in cottage cheese. Fold in eggs, then other ingredients. Cook pancakes on very hot griddle. Eat with Maple Syrup.

Original Recipe

Recipe as it appears in the very old cookbook.

When we make pancakes, we double this recipe, as it appears above. The two of us eat most of the pancakes.

Yum, pancakes. I always use real maple syrup too, but I've never had cottage cheese ones. And when I add blueberries, I load them up, and I use the little native New England ones that come from Maine. Now I want pancakes....thanks for sharing Mae.

I am having a hard time imagining cottage cheese in pancakes but they look just beautiful!

I'm a happy pancake maker. I'm constantly trying new recipes. I will try this one.

Those look amazing! It's been a while since we made pancakes, but we were just talking about them yesterday. So, maybe soon!

Cottage cheese pancakes with blueberries and maple syrup sounds like the most perfect cozy breakfast! I love how an old cookbook recipe can still feel so fresh and just right, there is something really special about that. Just followed along because I would love to see more of your kitchen finds!
