Gluten Free Cottage Cheese Pancakes

  Trying to get more protein for breakfast?  Here's a great protein packed pancake!   This recipe comes from my daughter-in-law's family reunion cookbook.  It's for cottage cheese pancakes, but all I had was some ricotta left over from making lasagna so I gave it a try.  When I ate them, they actually reminded me a lot of blintzes.

   I used coconut milk instead of regular milk and some applesauce in place of some of the oil, and it did not cause any compromises in flavor or texture!  

Gluten Free Ricotta Cheese Pancakes

1.  In a small bowl stir together:

(1)  1/4 cup of rice flour, 1/4 cup of sorghum flour, and 1/4 t salt.

2.  In a large bowl whisk together:

(1)  4 eggs

(2)  1 cup of cottage cheese (I often use ricotta cheese when I have leftovers from making lasagna)

(3)  1/4 cup of oil (I used 1/8 cup of oil and 1/8 cup of applesauce)

(4)  1/2 cup of milk (I used coconut milk)

(5)  1/2 t of vanilla

3.  Combine ingredients:  Slowly add the flour mixture to the bowl of egg/ricotta cheese mixture and whisk until completely combined.

4.  Fry pancakes:  I used about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake.  Cook until bubbles form and then flip over and cook until done.

Serve with jam and yogurt, berries, or syrup.
