Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cottage cheese
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 3 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Butter
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well blended.
In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing; a few lumps are fine.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add the butter. Once the butter has melted and spread evenly, reduce the heat slightly to medium-low.
Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Use the back of a spoon to gently spread the batter into a round shape, as it will be slightly thick.
Cook for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles start to form on the surface of the pancakes and the edges begin to look set. Flip the pancakes carefully with a spatula 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, yogurt, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
