Ingredients
3/4 cup cottage cheese
2 large eggs
1/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese, eggs, milk, and vanilla until mostly smooth. For an ultra-smooth texture, blend in a food processor.
2. In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined—don’t overmix.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
5. Pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes, until bubbles form and edges look set.
6. Flip and cook the other side for 1–2 minutes until golden brown.
7. Serve hot with your favorite toppings like blueberry compote, syrup, or yogurt.
Notes
For smoother pancakes, blend the cottage cheese before mixing.
Avoid overmixing to keep the pancakes fluffy and tender.
Use medium heat to ensure the pancakes cook evenly without burning.
