Uh-Oh! I Can't Seem To Find What You Are Looking For.

I can't seem to find what you think you're looking for.

What the heck just happened?

Well unfortunately, I think you've just experienced what we webmasters refer to as a "Big Problem." This could be caused by several factors including:

The material you are looking for is no longer available.
The material you are looking for was really never available.
The material you are looking for is around here someplace, but we have cleverly hidden it in a location called "somewhere else".

What should I do now?

Well, that depends. If you believe the material is actually on this site, we would recommend that you click the logo at the top of the page and try again. If you think the material is in fact not on this site, well, try "Googleing" for it. Also, you could hit "F5" or "refresh" to repeatedly reload the page. That rarely works, but you never know.

OK, who's fault is this anyway? Who can I blame for this mess?

In the most existential sense, isn't it really everyone's fault? No. More than likely it's your darn fault. However, if you would use the contact form and explain the error you received we would be very appreciative and happily remove you from our "people who caused massive, time consuming irreparable errors" list. That's one list you don't want to be on.

6 eggs, separated
2 cups small-curd cottage cheese or ricotta cheese (not nonfat)
1/4 cup canola or other high-quality vegetable oil
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice, preferably from Meyer variety
1 teaspoon grated or minced fresh lemon zest (optional)
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup all-purpose flour

In a food processor or blender, combine the egg yolks, cottage or ricotta cheese, oil, sugar, salt, lemon juice and zest (if using), baking powder, and flour and blend until smooth. Fold in the egg whites.

Meanwhile, heat a nonstick griddle or large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat, then lightly brush with melted butter or oil or spray with oil.

Pour the batter, about ¼ cup for each pancake, onto the cooking surface. Cook until the tops are bubbly, then turn and cook until the bottoms are browned. Serve hot with your favorite toppings.
