Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons butter (for cooking)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, milk, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Mix well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix; some lumps are fine.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of butter, letting it melt and coat the surface.
Using a ladle or 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour the batter onto the skillet to form pancakes. Cook each pancake for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form and the edges look set.
Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a dollop of yogurt.
