Honey Flavors and Colors

Honey has different flavors and colors, depending on the location and kinds of flowers the bees visit. Climatic conditions of the area also influence its flavor and color.

Directions

In a blender or food processor, combine cottage cheese, honey, lemon juice, zest, oil, 3 egg yolks, baking powder, flour and salt. Blend until smooth. Pour into a bowl.
Beat egg whites just until stiff peaks form. Carefully fold into batter until well incorporated.
Heat a greased griddle over medium heat until a drop of water sizzles on surface. Pour batter, 1/3 cup at a time onto surface. Cook approximately 2 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Serve topped with fruit.
