Lemon Cottage Cheese Latkes

Ingredients:

1-1/3 cups dry curd cottage cheese, pot cheese or farmer cheese
3 large eggs
1 cup milk
1-1/2 tablespoons finely grated fresh lemon peel
1 cup All-purpose flour
2 tablespoons Sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
Butter for the griddle

Preparation:

Combine the cottage cheese, eggs, milk, and lemon peel in a bowl. Add the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt and mix to combine ingredients.

Heat a griddle or saute pan over medium heat and add a small amount of butter. When the butter has melted and looks foamy, working in batches, pour about 1/4 cup batter onto the griddle for each pancake.

Cook the pancakes for about 2 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown, adding more butter to the pan as necessary.
