Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter or neutral oil (for frying)
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (for serving, optional)
- 2 tablespoons honey or jam (for serving, optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese and eggs until well combined.
Add the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt to the bowl. Stir with a spatula or spoon until just incorporated. Avoid overmixing the batter.
Mix in the vanilla extract to add a touch of flavor. The batter should be thick but spoonable.
Heat a large non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter or oil and allow it to melt and coat the pan evenly.
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of batter per pancake and gently drop it onto the skillet, forming small rounds. Flatten lightly with the back of the spoon if necessary.
Cook the pancakes for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and puffed. Flip gently using a spatula.
Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter or oil to the skillet as needed.
Once all pancakes are cooked, transfer them to a serving plate. Optionally dust with powdered sugar and serve with honey or jam for a sweet finishing touch.
Enjoy your warm, fluffy Cottage Cheese Pancakes (Levivot) immediately!
