(Cuisine at home, June 2006, Issue 57, p. 34)
Makes: 8 Pancakes (can be doubled) Total Time: 50 Minutes with toppings Rating: Easy
For the Fresh Strawberry Sauce—
Combine:
4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled, halved
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
1 t. cornstarch
1 t. orange zest, minced
For the Candied Graham Cracker Crumbs—
Melt and Add:
4 T. unsalted butter
1 cup graham crackers, crushed (4–5 crackers)
2 T. sugar
1/2 t. ground cinnamon
Pinch of salt
For the Sweetened Sour Cream—
Whisk Together:
1 cup light sour cream
1/4 cup powdered sugar
For the Pancakes—
Whisk Together:
1/2 cup skim milk
1/4 cup sugar
1 egg white
2 T. unsalted butter, melted
1 t. vanilla extract
Combine:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 t. baking powder
1/4 t. table salt
1/2 cup small curd 2% cottage cheese
1 t. lemon zest, minced
Preheat oven to 200°; heat an electric pancake griddle to 375°. (If you don’t have an electric griddle, heat a stovetop griddle or large skillet over medium heat.)
Combine all ingredients for the sauce in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer 7 minutes, or until strawberries soften; set aside.
Melt butter for the crumbs in a small skillet over medium heat. Add remaining ingredients and cook until toasted, stirring often, about 5 minutes; set aside.
Whisk together sour cream and powdered sugar, then chill.
Whisk milk, sugar, egg white, butter, and vanilla together in a large bowl.
Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl, then add to the egg mixture; stir just until incorporated (a few lumps are fine). Blend in cottage cheese and zest. Pour 1/3 cup batter per pancake onto the hot griddle that’s been coated with nonstick spray. Cook 3 minutes, or until bubbly on top, then flip and cook another 2 minutes. Transfer pancakes to the oven to keep warm while cooking the remaining batter. Serve with sauce, cracker crumbs, and sour cream.
The pancakes are ready to turn when bubbles appear on top. Flip and cook a couple of minutes more.
