Ingredients :

  • 1 cup cottage cheese, small curd
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter for the pan

Method :

  1. Whisk the cottage cheese, eggs, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl until combined.
  2. Stir in the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until a thick batter forms.
  3. Heat butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.
  4. Drop 2-tablespoon portions of batter onto the skillet and flatten slightly.
  5. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Serve warm with your favorite syrup or fresh fruit.

Recipe Notes :

Chef Pro Tip: Use a blender for the batter if you prefer a smooth texture instead of small curds. Variation: Fold in 1/4 cup of fresh blueberries for a fruity twist. Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use fat-free cottage cheese?

Yes, but full-fat or 2% cottage cheese provides a richer flavor and better texture.

Why are my pancakes falling apart?

The batter might be too wet; ensure your cottage cheese is well-drained before mixing.

Can I freeze these pancakes?

Yes, freeze them in a single layer before transferring to a freezer bag for up to 2 months.

Why We Love This Recipe ?
