Cloud Pancakes

  • 6 large eggs, separated
  • 2 cups small-curd cottage cheese
  • 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon coarse salt
  • Pinch of ground, cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • Unsalted butter, for cooking
  • Maple syrup, for serving
  • Berries, for serving
  • Step 1

    In a medium bowl, combine the egg yolks, cottage cheese, flour, sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Stir to combine.

  • Step 2

    In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the egg whites until foamy. Add the cream of tartar, and beat on medium-high speed until stiff, glossy peaks form.

  • Step 3

    Whisk 1/3 of the egg whites into the egg yolk mixture to lighten. Gently but thoroughly fold in the remaining whites.

  • Step 4

    In a large, nonstick skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Drop batter, 1/4 cup at a time, into pan. Cook until golden brown and set, 2 to 4 minutes. Flip pancake, and cook 2 to 4 minutes more. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve immediately, with maple syrup and berries.
