Pancakes

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the batter

    In a large bowl, combine the farmers cheese, eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until well blended.

  2. 2

    Add dry ingredients

    Sift together the flour and baking powder. Gradually add the dry mixture to the cheese mixture, stirring until just combined.

  3. 3

    Shape the pancakes

    Dust your hands with flour and take a small amount of the batter to form small patties (about 2 inches in diameter).

  4. 4

    Cook the pancakes

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Place the pancakes in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Prepare the strawberry puree

    While the pancakes are cooking, blend fresh strawberries in a blender until smooth. If desired, add a little sugar to taste.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the warm pancakes topped with fresh strawberry puree and additional berries.
