Step 1

In a small bowl, stir together the strawberries and maple syrup and set aside to macerate.

Step 2

Meanwhile, prepare the pancakes: Whisk together the cottage cheese, eggs, sugar, and salt until smooth and fluffy. Stir in the flour and baking powder last.

Step 3

Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Melt about a teaspoon of butter and pour in 1/3 cup of the pancake batter. Cook 2 to 3 minutes on the first side, then flip and continue cooking 1 to 2 minutes, or until cake has set. Plate, then continue with the rest of the batter (you should get exactly four pancakes out of this recipe).

Step 4

Serve with strawberry maple syrup either on the side or on top.
