Ingredients
Makes 20 (3-inch) pancakes
Step 1
Preheat oven to 200°F.
Step 2
Cook onion, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper in 2 tablespoons butter in a small heavy skillet over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 12 minutes. Transfer to a bowl, then add cottage cheese, eggs, flour, 1/4 cup butter, remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt, and remaining 1/8 teaspoon pepper and whisk until combined.
Step 3
Brush a 12-inch nonstick skillet with some of remaining butter and heat over moderate heat until hot but not smoking. Working in batches of 5, scoop 1/8-cup measures of batter into skillet and cook until undersides are golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip and cook until undersides are golden brown and pancakes are cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes more. Transfer to a baking sheet and keep warm in oven. Brush skillet with butter between batches if necessary.

Back to Top了不起的;我已经让他们几次a month since the recipe was published 14 years ago. But cornmeal in place of the flour makes them crisper, and they want about twice as much onion. With the crisper texture from the cornmeal, they don't need any additional melted butter.

这些都是好的。我用脱脂、无盐白cheese, 2 whole eggs and 1 white, and omitted the ton of butter and added a tablespoon of olive oil. I also sautéed about a half a cup of chopped green onions along with the yellow onion and added a pinch of garlic powder and cayenne pepper. I fried them in a couple of teaspoons of ghee for buttery flavor without too much added fat (the eggs and olive oil contributed plenty). We had them as an accompaniment to chowder and a salad. Tonight I'm making them again. I'm going to sauté some spinach and chopped parsley along with the onions, And maybe sprinkle a little shredded Parmesan over the tops and melt it under the broiler.

Does anyone know if these are similar to Russian "syrniki" (the recipe I was searching for) that are made with "quark"?

First batch, following the recipe, not so great. Sloppy, mushy, burnt, etc. Final batch, low heat, longer cooking time, lots more wheat flour, bit more salt, doubled the onions, olive oil in the pan instead of butter, topped with sauteed onions, tomatoes and baby bell peppers....so good I keep thinking about them the next day. Next time, I will try it without any butter. It doesn't seem necessary actually. SO GOOD!

Wow. So yummy. I'm not into sweet things for breakfast, so these are a great alternative for those who like savory things. They are creamy in the middle and crispy on the outisde, the textures balance well.

Omitted the pepper and onions, added a dash of sugar, and served with apple butter...to die for! I have a six and two year old, even they loved them. I only had low fat cottage cheese and they were still supper creamy.

Very good, very quick, wholesome and made with items you probably already have. I agree with others who said that equipment matters - using a teflon pan is kinda key to the right texture and good flipping. (I tried both my well seasoned iron skillet and my calphalon pan, and calphalon won [which it NEVER does!]). For fat in the pan, i used olive oil (i did use butter in the batter, but felt that the extra butter was just, well, excessive). So with regard to flavor, i made an addition or two: i added a dash of chipotle chili powder and 1/4 c chopped fresh italian parsley. very good recipe, nice seasoning, good comfort food.

These were yummy! I went the sweet route per the below reviewer, followed the rest of recipe but TOTALLY forgot to add the butter. They were still great. I used a big cast-iron skillet on medium heat, buttered the pan between batches and had no trouble flipping. I did make the pancakes fairly small as suggested. Served with home-made blueberry syrup. Yum!

Very good, but I would have cooked them longer as I like crispy pancakes. We used a butter substitute also.

I don't know why they don't call these Cottage Cheese Blini. They were terrific with caviar.

These are fantastic! I made them smaller, with a mixture of onions and shallots, as appetizers for a picnic, and they disappeared quickly. I mixed the rest of ingredients in my KitchenAid, using the paddle, then added the onion mixture and blended a little more. They did not stick to my steel skillet. I think you can experiment by adding diced fennel or fresh herbs as well.

BEWARE! The proper tools count! I gave this recipe one fork because it has promise. If you don't have non- stick cookware, like me, you may also have a Sunday morning disaster. (I don't use non-stick cookware due to the well-publicized health risks.) I tried this recipe and (1) learned that the pancakes must be small - even less than 3" in diameter and (2)the pan must be very hot and lots of butter is needed. I used the posted suggestion of making a sweet pancake by substituting the 3 tbsp of sugar for the onion. I included cinnamon and nutmeg. I made several pancakes, using a small aaute pan. The only pancake that looked like a pancake was not up to my standards. It browned nicely in its butter bath and was good in taste. However, the texture did not taste or look "cooked". After pondering how to fix the mess, I gave up and threw the rest of the batter out. Tf you also do not use non-stick or "Teflon-type" cookware and you feel adventuresome with a old-fashioned cast-iron griddle, this could be a worthwhile recipe for experimentation.

These were really great savory pancakes, with a fairly pronounced onion flavor. I used 2% fat cottage cheese for this recipe and found that it was rich enough what with all the other fat. I liked these pancakes a lot. Cutting the recipe down to 1/3 of its size made for a nice amount for two people. Served with maple veggie sausage, this made a great breakfast.

Luxury! so unique and delicious! I omitted the onion and added 3 Tbsp of brown sugar and 1/2 - 1 tsp of lemon rind. Amazing!

This is one of those recipes that makes you wonder how such a small number of simple, relatively inexpensive ingredients can combine into something so delicious! Yum, yum, yum! I also used less butter the second time around, and they were just as good if not better.
