Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons sweetener (sugar, honey, or maple syrup)
  • 1/4 to 1/3 cup milk (to adjust batter consistency)
  • Butter or oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth, then mix in your choice of sweetener. Next, gently fold in the flour and baking powder. Gradually add milk to achieve a thick but pourable consistency—this ensures every pancake is perfectly fluffy.
  2. Heat the Pan: Place a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a little butter or oil. This step is vital to avoid sticking and to get that irresistible golden crust.
  3. Cook the Pancakes: Pour small ladles of batter onto the hot pan, leaving enough space between each. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook an additional 2 minutes until both sides are golden and cooked through.
  4. Serve Warm: Stack your pancakes high while still warm to keep them soft and inviting. Garnish as desired and dive into this delightful treat!

Notes

  • Patience is Key: Allow the batter to rest for a few minutes to let the baking powder activate fully for extra fluffiness.
  • Don’t Overmix: Gently fold ingredients to keep the batter light and airy instead of dense.
  • Consistent Heat: Maintain medium heat to avoid burning outside while the inside remains raw.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh cottage cheese and eggs will make a noticeable difference in flavor and texture.
  • Adjust Thickness: If your batter is too thick, add a splash more milk to keep pancakes tender.
