So, we went to the store and in the cheese section I noticed farmers cheese. Did I know that to do with it-NO, however after searching online for what it’s used for I created this recipe. If you’ve never had farmers cheese, I would say its a mix between ricotta and cream cheese. If you enjoy both of those cheeses, then I highly suggest you try farmers cheese, you won’t be disappointed. These pancakes are cheesy and they are not your typical sweet pancake. You do put a bit of sugar in the batter to give it a hint of sweetness, yet they are not overly sweet.
Ingredients
- Olive oil for pan
- 7.5 oz farmers cheese
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
Cooking Instructions
- In a medium sized bowl, mix together cheese, egg, flour, baking powder, and sugar.
- Heat a large skillet to medium heat with roughly 3-4 tbsp of olive oil.
- Making sure you hands are wet (this is a must so that the cheese mixture will not stick to your hands) form the pancakes. Pancakes should be small in size. If you notice the mix begins to stick to your hands, wet your hands some more.
- Place them in the skillet one by one as you form them.
- Fry them in the pan for about 3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown on each side.
- Take them off the heat and place the pancakes on a plate.
- Enjoy!
Note: Feel free to top them with powdered sugar, jam, berries or syrup.
