Pancakes with Peach Slices and Cottage Cheese

Ingredients

• 0.5 cup blended cottage cheese (About 113 g after blending, until smooth.)
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract or vanilla paste (The source indicates a drizzle or small amount; adjust to taste.)
• 2 tbsp maple syrup (For the batter.)
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 0.5 tsp ground cinnamon (For the batter; optionally use a little more for serving.)
• salt (A pinch.)
• 2 peaches (Sliced into rounds; remove the pits. About 300 g flesh in total.)
• 2 tbsp cream (For serving; estimated quantity since the source does not specify it.)
• 2 tbsp maple syrup (For serving; estimated quantity since the source does not specify it.)
• 0.25 tsp ground cinnamon (For serving, optional.)

Steps

1. 1

   Slice the peaches into even rounds and carefully remove the pits. Set the slices aside flat so they are easy to dip into the batter.

2. 2

   In a mixing bowl, add the blended cottage cheese, eggs, vanilla, and 2 tbsp of maple syrup. Whisk until smooth.

3. 3

   Add the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Mix just until the dry ingredients are incorporated; avoid overmixing the batter.

4. 4

   Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. If necessary, lightly grease it to prevent the pancakes from sticking.

5. 5

   Dip a peach slice into the batter to coat it, then place it in the hot skillet. Repeat with the remaining slices, leaving enough space between the pancakes.

6. 6

   Cook for about 1 to 2 minutes, until small bubbles appear on the surface and the edges begin to set. The underside should be golden brown.

7. 7

   Carefully flip each pancake with a spatula, then continue cooking until the second side is golden brown and the batter around the peach is fully cooked, about 1 to 2 additional minutes.

8. 8

   Repeat with the remaining batter and peach slices, adjusting the heat to prevent the pancakes from browning too quickly.

9. 9

   Serve hot with cream, a drizzle of maple syrup, and a pinch of cinnamon.

Notes

The creator explains that this technique works with any pancake recipe: simply dip a peach slice into the batter before cooking. The amounts of cream, maple syrup, and cinnamon for the topping are estimates because they are not specified in the source.
