Fluffy Cottage Cheese Pancakes with Honey&Butter Cornflakes

Shrove Tuesday aka Fasting Tuesday aka Pancake Tuesday is approaching and these pancakes are a perfect treat for your weekend morning! Despite the whole Finland is concentrating on Shrove Buns (semlor or whatever you call them), I decided to go with pancakes instead (but I would never skip eating Shrove buns :D ). They are so soft and fluffy and delicious and the honey&butter cornflakes add a very nice crunch to them! Of course you can serve them with jam or berries too. I also like to think that the cornflakes make them even more breakfast-like. Finns don't usually eat sweet things in the morning; it's considered very unprotestant LOL. Only oatmeal and dark bread are approved ;) Due to the eggs and cottage cheese they are almost like a proper meal too so you can calm your inner little protestant with that maybe.
I tried the recipe also with gluten free flour mix I already had (Semper coarse flour, which I sieved to remove the roughest parts). I was so happy to find the recipe works very well with it too.

 Fluffy pancakes with crunchy honey&butter cornflakes for Pancake Tuesday!
Ingredients:
- 65 g cake flour or glutenfree flour (I used Semper coarse flour, but sieved the rough parts away)
 - 1/4 tsp baking powder
 - 2 egg yolks
 - 10 g sugar
 - 100 g cottage cheese
 - 120 ml milk
 - 2 egg whites
 - a pinch of salt
 - 7 g sugar (roughly 2 scant tsp)
 - butter or oil, for frying Honey&Butter Cornflakes:
 - 1 Tbsp butter
 - 1 generous tsp honey
 - 25 g cornflakes For decoration:
 - powdered sugar
 
Instructions:
 - Blend the cottage cheese with milk into even mass. Add the egg yolks and 10 g sugar, flour and baking powder. Mix until even.
 - Whip the egg whites with a pinch of salt and 7 g sugar until stiff peak stage. Fold a small amount of the meringue into flour mixture and stir even. Add the remaining meringue in two batches and fold until combined.
 - Heat a frying pan over low/medium heat. Butter or oil the pan. Spoon about 50 ml (appr. scant 1/4 cup) of batter/pancake to the pan and fry until golden brown (2-4 minutes/side).
 - Serve with honey&butter cornflakes. (You can keep the pancakes in a preheated oven until serving to keep them warm.)
 - Cornflakes: Heat the butter and honey in a microwavable bowl until the butter melts and the mixture turns runny (about 20-40 seconds). Pour on the cornflakes and stir even.

 Kuohkeanmehevät pannukakut muroherkun kanssa.
Ainekset:
- 65 g erikoisvehnäjauhoa tai gluteenitonta jauhoa (käytin Semperin karkeaa jauhoa, josta siivilöin karkeimmat osat pois)
 - 1/4 tl leivinjauhetta
 - 2 keltuaista
 - 10 g sokeria
 - 100 g raejuustoa
 - 120 ml maitoa
 - 2 valkuaista
 - ripaus suolaa
 - 7 g sokeria (vajaa 2 tl)
 - voita tai öljyä, paistamiseen Hunajavoimurot:
 - 1 rkl voita
 - 1 kukkurallinen tl hunajaa
 - 25 g maissihiutaleita Koristeluun:
 - tomusokeria
 
Valmistusohjeet:
 - Hienonna raejuusto tasaiseksi maidon kanssa sauvasekoittimella tai tehosekoittimessa. Sekoita mukaan keltuaiset, sokeri (10 g), jauhot ja leivinjauhe ja sekoita tasaiseksi.
 - Vatkaa valkuaiset kovaksi vaahdoksi suolan ja 7 g sokeria kanssa. Yhdistä ensin pieni määrä vaahtoa taikinaan ja sitten kääntele loput varovasti sekaan kahdessa erässä.
 - Lämmitä paistinpannu miedolla keskilämmöllä ja voitele pannu joko öljyllä tai voilla. Nostele pannulle taikinaa n. reilu 0,5 dl/pannukakku. Paista kullanruskeaksi molemmilta puolilta (n.2-4 minuuttia /puoli).
 - Tarjoile hunajavoimurojen kanssa. Voit nostaa valmiit pannukakut lämpimään uuniin odottamaan tarjoilua, jotta ne pysyvät kuohkeina ja lämpiminä.
 - Hunajavoimurot: Mittaa maissihiutaleet kulhoon. Lämmitä voita ja hunajaa mikrossa, kunnes voi sulaa ja koko seos muuttuu juoksevaksi (n. 20-40 s). Kaada seos maissihiutaleiden päälle ja sekoita niin, että hunajavoi leviää maissihiutaleiden pintaan.
