Method

1

Gather and prepare your ingredients.

2

Place the eggs, parmesan, lemon zest, salt and a generous crack of black pepper into a bowl. Whisk to combine.

3

Add the cottage cheese and stir to combine.

4

Add the buckwheat flour and baking powder and stir to combine.

5

Fold in the sweetcorn, peas and basil. Reserve some basil for garnish, if desired.

6

Heat a small amount of oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add heaped spoonfuls of batter and cook for 2-3 minutes. When you see bubbles in the centre they are ready to flip. Cook for about 2 minutes on the other side.  The batter will gently expand as they fry, so don’t crowd the pan. Serve sprinkled with basil, if desired.
