Griddle Cakes with Strawberry-Orange Sauce

Sauce Ingredients

• 1 package frozen sliced strawberries, thawed
• 2 Tbsp. frozen orange juice concentrate
• 1 Tbsp. lemon juice
• 1/2 tsp. grated lemon peel

Griddle Cakes Ingredients

• 3 eggs
• 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
• 1/4 cup flour
• 1 Tbsp. sugar
• 1 Tbsp. butter or margarine, melted
• pinch of salt
• vegetable oil

Directions

For sauce, place strawberries, orange juice, lemon juice and peel in large bowl. Mash berries with pastry blender or fork; set aside.

For griddle cakes, whisk eggs and cottage cheese in medium bowl until well blended (cottage cheese should still be slightly lumpy). Add flour, sugar, butter and salt; mix well. Lightly brush griddle or large skillet with oil; heat over medium high heat until hot, but not smoking.

For each pancake, pour scant 1/4 cup batter onto griddle. Cook 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form and tops look dry. Turn pancakes; cook 1 minute longer or until golden brown on bottoms.

Serve with strawberry-orange sauce.
