cakes of many pans

whaddup boys and girls?

i'm leaving for las vegas in half an hour so this is gonna be a quickie.

without further ado, the fluffy pancakes recipe:

4 eggs separated
1 cup cottage cheese
1/3 cup all purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt

- eggs should be free run - a happy chicken produces happy eggs
-the all purpose flour can be substituted with spelt flour, whole wheat, whatever your heart desires. somethingelse that is kind of fun is to replace some of the flour with cocoa powder, but certainly not all of it as we need some gluten from the flour in order to hold the cakes together.
- salt: i use sea salt pretty much exclusively. there are countless varieties of salt out there and maybe we could eventually explore this ingredient in more depth at a later time, however, just make sure you don't use iodized salts. they suck.

method:

1) whip egg whites until stiff but not dry
2) beat some air into the yolks; you'll know when they pale a bit
3) mix in cottage cheese, salt and flour
4) fold egg whites into the previous mixture, trying to retain their fluffy quality
5) cook 'em up!

they will puff up somewhat and then eventually appear to deflate - worry not, they'll still taste great. you can always toss in a little extra love in the form of a spice which will complement the sweet addition of canadian maple syrup. word. cinnamon will do well. you might also consider serving these as savoury accompaniments to a dish - in the place of potatoes or another starch. sky's the limit, so definitely screw around with this one once you get the hang of the process. your intuition is the gateless gate.

in case you wanted to know, if these cakes serve 6 ppl, you're going to get 108 calories, 10 grams of protein, 7 grams of carbohydrates, 4 grams of fat, 147 mg of choleterol, 272 mg of sodium.

have a great weekend - i'll try to write from the city of sin if i can manage to dislodge the vile of ayahuasca from my left hand or the bottle of wild turkey from my right.

while i'm there, i'll be researching "kermit's third leg" at the first martini bar i see. i'll get back to ya soon, rommel.

solar shouts!
