ingredients
method
1. Heat the oven to 110°C (225°F) Gas 1/4
2. Sift the flour and salt into a bowl, then add the cottage cheese, butter and egg yolks and mix well.
3. In a clean, dry bowl, whisk the egg whites until they form soft peaks. With a metal spoon, fold 3 tablespoons of the egg white into the cottage cheese mixture and then carefully fold in the remainder.
4. Heat a little oil in a heavy-based frying-pan. Drop about 6 tablespoons of the mixture into the pan, spacing them well apart, and fry over moderate heat for 2 - 3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown.
5. Remove the pancakes with a fish slice and keep hot in the oven while frying the second batch. Serve at once.
