Step 1

Mix cottage cheese with sugar with a food processor or immersive blender until creamy

Step 2

Add flour and raisins and mix with hand or spoon until blended well

Step 3

Roll out in a long tube and cut 1cm pieces

Step 4

Make small patties out of the pieces and fry in a pancake pan on medium heat on both sides until golden brown (or a bit darker for a crispier bite)

Step 5

Serve topped with maple syrup, honey or pinecone preserve, berries and powdered sugar. I also like to add some dried sage and thyme for extra flavour
