Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups cottage cheese
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup canola oil (for frying)

Instructions

  1. Mix the Batter: Combine all ingredients in the following order: cottage cheese, eggs, vanilla extract, sugar, baking powder, and flour. Mix gently after adding each ingredient until well combined, forming a thick pancake batter.
  2. Preheat the Skillet: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the canola oil to coat the surface evenly, preparing it for frying pancakes.
  3. Cook the Pancakes: Pour portions of the batter onto the hot skillet and fry each side until golden brown, ensuring the pancakes are cooked through and the cheese inside is melted.
  4. Serve Warm: Serve the pancakes hot with maple syrup or jam to enhance their sweet and creamy flavors.

Notes

  • Use full-fat or low-fat cottage cheese according to preference for creaminess.
  • Do not over-mix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy.
  • Adjust sugar amount based on sweetness preference.
  • Can substitute canola oil with vegetable or sunflower oil for frying.
  • Serve immediately after cooking as pancakes taste best warm.
