Ingredients:

• 1 cup low-fat ricotta or cottage cheese
• 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
• 1 egg, 2 egg whites
• 2 tbsp zero calorie sugar
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• Nonstick cooking oil spray, for frying

Directions:

1. Combine all ingredients, except the non-stick oil in a food processor.
2. Process the mixture for about 45 seconds, pausing a couple of times to scrape the sides, until the mixture forms a thick batter.
3. Spray a pan with cooking spray and heat over medium.
4. Use a spoon to scoop up the batter, then pour it onto the hot pan in the size/shape of silver dollar pancakes.
5. Use 1-2 tablespoons of batter per pancake.
6. Spread it out into a thin circle after it hits the skillet.
7. Heat the latkes for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn golden brown.
8. Test the first latke for doneness and make sure it’s cooked all the way through; if the latkes are browning faster than they’re cooking, reduce heat.
9. Serve immediately.

Makes 8 latkes. Count 2 as: a complete breakfast or lunch, just add a fruit or vegetables. Enjoy!
