Latvian Cottage Cheese Pancakes (Biezpiena Placenisi)

Pancake - Breakfast and Brunch

This is my adaptation of a common Latvian dish. It was a common breakfast or lunch dish in Latvia. It was topped with a little butter and honey. My kids like to put maple syrup on instead. I almost always double the recipe because it is easy to reheat for a quick snack.
