Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cottage cheese
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Butter or neutral oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy.
Add the cottage cheese, sugar, salt, and vanilla extract to the bowl and mix well to combine.
In a separate small bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and baking powder.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until a thick batter forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Heat a large skillet or nonstick frying pan over medium heat and add the butter or oil.
Once the pan is hot, drop about 2 tablespoons of batter per latke onto the skillet, leaving space between each one.
Cook the latkes for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the latkes from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess grease.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, applesauce, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar for sweetness.
