This recipe is a great way to make a romantic breakfast in bed for your special someone on Valentine’s Day.
For pancakes:
2 cups complete (just add water type) buttermilk pancake mix
1 1/4 cups water
1 cup small curd cottage cheese
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For syrup:
1 cup maple syrup
1 cup sliced strawberries
1/2 teaspoon lemon rind
Directions:
Preheat griddle.
Combine the pancake mix, water, cottage cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl; stir well until blended.
Pour batter by 1/4 cupfuls onto hot, well-greased griddle.
Flip pancakes when tops are covered with bubbles.
For Strawberry-Lemon Syrup:
Combine the syrup, strawberries, and lemon rind in a small saucepan and heat through, stirring occasionally.
OTHER SUGGESTION FOR SYRUP OR PANCAKE TOPPING (WITHOUT MAPLE SYRUP):
Make syrup without maple syrup by thawing a package of frozen strawberries and heat in pan with lemon rind. You can also add a teaspoon of orange juice if desired. If you use this topping for pancakes, you can also add a dollop of whipped cream if you want.
