Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cottage cheese
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 3 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- Maple syrup or fruit topping (optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, milk, sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should remain slightly lumpy.
Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Melt a small amount of butter to lightly grease the surface.
Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet, leaving enough space for the pancakes to spread slightly.
Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes on one side, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip gently with a spatula and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
Serve the pancakes warm, topped with maple syrup, fruit, or any topping of your choice.
