Waffres

This is a variation on the pancake. The egg whites are the rising agent and the soft cheese adds a sour note to the flavor. They work well when you are serving a gooey or loose dish such as an applade as the wafers can be used like chips.

Waffres- yogurt cheese, flour, egg white, sugar, ginger
