In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese, milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, whisking until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or vegetable oil.
Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Spread the batter slightly with the back of a spoon, if needed.
Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as syrup, fresh fruit, or a dollop of whipped cream.
