Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat)
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (for frying)
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for garnish)
- n/a fresh berries or jam (optional for serving)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well-incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing; the batter should be slightly thick but scoopable.
Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter. Allow the butter to melt and coat the pan evenly.
Using a spoon or small ladle, drop about 2 to 3 tablespoons of batter per latke onto the hot skillet, spreading slightly with the back of the spoon to form round pancakes.
Cook the latkes for 2 to 3 minutes on one side, or until the edges start to set and the bottoms are golden brown. Flip and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes, until cooked through and golden brown on both sides.
Transfer the cooked latkes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess butter. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the pan as needed.
Dust the latkes with powdered sugar before serving and garnish with fresh berries or a dollop of jam if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy these irresistibly sweet cottage cheese latkes!
