Fresh Cheese Pancakes

Fresh White Cheese Pancakes are good choice for the family breakfast or snack. Fresh cheese is a source of the calcium, therefore this is very good food for kids whose growing body needs a lot of calcium.

Cheese pancakes are very fast and very easy to do. The only hassle with this recipe can be to find good quark-kind fresh cheese. So try Russian, Ukrainian or Polish shop if you can’t locate it local supermarket.

Ingredients:

  • 0.5 – 0.8lb of fresh white cheese (quark)
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp of sugar
  • 1/2 tsp of salt
  • All purpose flour

How to make, step-by-step:

  1. To prepare fresh cheese pancakes you will need quark (fresh cow milk cheese, in russian: tvorog). I had troubles to find it in US, so if you don’t have it in your local stores, ask in Russian / Ukrainian / Polish shops, most probably you will find it there:

    These were absolutely heavenly, but I ended up adding at least twice as much flour as you suggested to get the “look” you have. We can’t wait until the tvorg arrives in our EU market again, so I can make more!

      Yep, amount of flour may differ depend of how liquid the fresh cheese is. And good tvorog it is hard to find here ins US… I am thinking to try to make some myself, found where to get good milk already… Just need to a small kick to try it :)

    Yum-Yum! I just made these for breakfast today and they were delicious. I made my own cottage cheese from whole milk (we can get it here in France!) and then also added a dash of vanilla sugar. Thanks again and do you have some other recipes with cottage cheese?…:) Have a wonderful week-end!
