Apple-Cheese Pancakes

A delicious Sunday morning treat from our favorite: The Moosewood!

Ingredients:

1 cup cottage or ricotta cheese (ricotta is obvi the way to go)
1 heaping, packed cup grated apple (and kind by delicious-- I always use honeycrisp!)
3/4 cup flour (you can use 1/2 cup white and 1/4 cup wheat)
1 Tbs. honey
1 tsp. fresh lemon juice
1 Tbs. sunflower seeds or chopped almonds (almonds, again, obvi)
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
dash of nutmeg or allspice
4 eggs, separated
1/2 tsp. salt

Directions:

1) Mix everything together except the egg whites.

2) Beat the egg whites until stiff and fold into batter.

3) Fry pancakes in butter on both sides until brown.

4) Serve with maple syrup or preserves, sour cream or yogurt, fresh fruit, cinnamon sugar. (Mix and match!)

Mollie says: Serve these pancakes for breakfast brunch or lunch. They could even be a dessert after a light meal. The recipe makes enough to satisfy four reasonably hungry sorts.

I've made these twice now, a year apart from each other. The second time I made larger pancakes and enjoyed the effect. Note: You have to flatten the batter out in the pan or they won't cook all the way through! Delicious when toasted the day after. I might make these for PBL one of these weeks.

This is not the Moosewood recipe! Different amounts of ingredients, different ingredients, different preparation. They might taste great, but stop pretending that the recipe is from the highly rated Moosewood Restaurant Cooks at Home.
