Peach ring and cottage cheese pancakes

Ingredients

• 2 pieces fresh yellow peaches, ripe but firm
• 200 g plain cottage cheese
• 2 pieces eggs
• 2 tbsp maple syrup
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 100 g T55 all-purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 pinch fine salt
• 2 tbsp sunflower oil
• 150 g thick crème fraîche

Method

1. Rinse and dry the peaches. Cut them crosswise into thick slices, then carefully remove the pits with the tip of a paring knife; the rings must remain whole and firm enough to be lifted.
2. In a bowl, whisk the eggs with the cottage cheese, maple syrup and vanilla extract until homogenous. Small curds of cheese can remain visible, but no egg white should be separated.
3. In a second bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Fold this mixture into the wet ingredients without overmixing; the batter should be thick, mostly smooth and slowly run off the spoon.
4. Let the batter rest for five minutes at room temperature; it should puff slightly and coat the spoon without becoming runny.
5. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat, then spread a thin film of sunflower oil. The oil should sizzle gently when a drop of batter is added, without smoking or browning.
6. Pat the peach slices dry, dip them one by one into the batter and turn to coat them in a thin layer. Let the excess drip off for a few seconds, then place the rings in the skillet, spacing them apart.
7. Cook the rings for two to three minutes on the first side, until the edges set, the surface forms small bubbles and the bottom is golden brown. Flip with a thin spatula and continue cooking for one to two minutes; the batter center should be set and the peach still soft.
8. Transfer to a wire rack or warm plate and repeat with the remaining batter, adding a little oil only if the pan becomes dry. Serve immediately with the thick crème fraîche; the pancakes should remain golden brown on the outside, soft around the peach and warm in the center.
