I cut this out of the local paper last night and plan to give it a try
soon:
Cottage Cheese Pancakes
1/2 cup crushed pineapple (drain well and set aside)
4 egg whites
1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
2/3 cup skim milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup unbleached sifted flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
For Topping:
1 cup orange juice
1 teaspoon cornstarch
Spray non-stick skillet with cooking spray and set aside. Blend egg
whites, cottage cheese,
milk and vanilla until smooth. Add dry ingredients and blend until well
combined. Stir in
crushed pineapple. Heat skillet over medium heat, and drop a few spoonfuls
of the batter
onto hot pan to make about 4-inch pancakes. Cook on low heat until bubbles
form on
surface. Turn and cook other side until browned.
For topping: Combine orange juice and cornstarch, cook over low heat,
stirring until
consistency of syrup. Cool slightly and pour over pancakes.
