These delicious pancakes make a wonderful brunch or light lunch. Or, you can make them smaller and serve them as an appetizer. When corn is in season, substitute fresh corn kernels for the frozen.
- 1 cup plain fat-free yogurt
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 2 tablespoons chopped mint
- 1 Granny Smith apple, finely diced
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced
- 2 cups low-fat (1%) cottage cheese
- 1 large egg white
- 6 tablespoons flour
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 cup frozen corn kernels, thawed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
1. In small bowl, combine 3/4 cup of yogurt, cilantro, mint, and apple; set aside.
2. In large bowl, combine cottage cheese, remaining 1/4 cup yogurt, egg white, flour, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Fold in corn kernels.
3. In large nonstick skillet, heat 1-1/2 teaspoons of oil over medium-low heat. Using half the batter, drop by generous 1/3-cup measures into pan to make 4 pancakes. Cook pancakes until lightly golden and cooked through, about 2 minutes per side.
