The Best Pancakes I Have Ever Tasted. Period.

I'm so sorry, friends.  
I know it is absolutely horrible of me to post this,
 what with your New Year's Resolutions still going strong and all.
But, I wonder if it would be just as horrible of me to NOT post this.  
Because seriously, these were the best. pancakes. of. my. life.  


Nick and I keep staying up late and sleeping in, since he is STILL off work.
(Is it bad that I want him to go back now?  
His priority for the past two weeks has been to do absolutely nothing) 
Anyways for some reason this schedule justifies making pancakes, no?  


Cottage Cheese (Yes, I know - weird... but trust me) and Nutmeg Pancakes 

Ingredients

  • 2 eggs, seperated
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 4 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/2 tsp grated nutmeg
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 cup flour
  • Butter for the pan
Whisk 2 egg yolks and cup of buttermilk together in a bowl.  Add cottage cheese, melted butter, and vanilla.  Add the dry ingredients and whisk it all together.  Beat the egg whites until they form soft peaks, and fold them into the batter.

Heat pan over medium high heat and melt a little butter into the pan.  These do have a slight tendency to stick, but pretty much function as regular pancakes for all other purposes.  So just take advantage of this as an excuse to add more butter to the pan between batches, and you should be A-Okay!  



Serve with a little cherry or raspberry jam and a dollop of sour cream.
You'll be sold.
I'm never making pancakes the old way again.
These were moister and more delicious than you could imagine.
I really am sorry for sharing, honestly...
 but this is a pancake recipe you need in your breakfast arsenal.  
I hope I didn't put you off your resolutions too much.  

Happy Friday!
