The whey I am talking about is the whey you get after the cheese-making process. Whey is the liquid remaining after the milk has been curdled and strained. It is a byproduct of the manufacture of cheese or casein and has several commercial uses. Not to be confused with protein whey, a powder that you can add into your smoothies. In this post, I will explain to you how to make waffles with whey.
According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, a crepe is a very thin and small pancake. As for a pancake still according to Merriam-Webster dictionary, it is a flat cake made of thin batter and cooked on a griddle on both sides.
So in short; a crepe is a very thin pancake that is perfect for a variety of filling or different toppings. And a pancake is a little bit thicker and usually, there is baking powder into the recipe to make them fluffy.
Mix bananas and oat flakes and you will get very healthy pancakes! The oats bring you a lot of fiber and the bananas are a greats source of vitamins and contain very little fat. I usually serve them with plain yogurt or my homemade ricotta cheese, but this time I served them with my chocolate ganache! Very easy to make and soo good! You cannot go wrong – chocolate and banana is a classic combination.
Cheese… Who doesn’t love cheese? If you have cheese you are okay 🙂 I don’t drink milk because I don’t like the taste, but I do love cheese. Ever since I tried this recipe, I stopped buying ricotta cheese from the store. My homemade ricotta cheese is so much better! There are similar recipes on the Internet, but mine is a little different in a sense that you will taste the lemon in it. It is fresh, a little tangy, and so much better than store-bought cheese. You don’t need fancy equipment or special tools, just a simple cheesecloth or even a clean light dish towel will do the trick! Don’t be afraid of making your own cheese – it is fun and really rewarding! You can even make your homemade cream cheese with this ricotta. Just add 1/2 cup of 35% cream and a pinch of salt to your prepared and cooled ricotta cheese, and mix it well with a hand blender. Keep it cool and it’s good for a week.
These are my kids’ favorite pancakes. Add some fresh fruits on top and you have a complete breakfast. Yummy!
