Protein Pancakes

This is a usual sight on a Saturday or sunday morning in our house. And a favourite with Big Brother. He joins in and does the mixing



These pancakes are made with something called kesam.

I don't know what the equivalent is in English, but it's a low fat soft cheeze. It can be very low fat (0,1%) or just low (8%). It tastes like a mix between yoghurt and sour cream and can be used in the same way for dips, dressings, pies you name it. It's high in protein, and so it fills you up, and keeps you keeps full longer than with normal pancakes.

It also reacts with bicarb and makes baked goods rize perfectly and is so good for these pancakes that can be breakfast or dessert.

For approx 12 pancakes you'll need:

1 box of kesam (300 g)
1/2 to 1 teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda
4 eggs
Approx 1 dl sugar
Approx 3 dl flour

Mix kesam and bicarb and let it bubble up a little. Add the eggs and sugar and mix well. Now add the flour. You want a thick batter that holds it own, and can be spooned onto the pan.



Fry on a medium to hot heat. If you have a non-stick pan you don't need any butter. Use a serving spoon to spoon on the mix, and have patience to wait till bubbles form in the batter, and the top has a layer of "film" on it. Flip, and cook untill golden on the other side.



We just eat whatever we feel like on them. I like blueberries and vanilla kesam or butter and maple syrup, Big Brother likes them with butter. Big Man sometimes puts salami (?) on them.



And if you have some left over (we usually do) then you can reheat them in the toaster. Soooooo good.
