Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups cottage cheese
- 4 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 cup flour
For Frying
- 1/4 cup canola oil
Instructions
- Prepare the batter: Combine all ingredients in the following order - start by placing the cottage cheese into a mixing bowl, then add the eggs, vanilla extract, sugar, baking powder, and finally the flour. Mix well after adding each ingredient to ensure a smooth and consistent batter.
- Heat the skillet: Preheat a skillet over medium heat and add canola oil, spreading it evenly to prevent sticking and to allow even browning of the pancakes.
- Cook the pancakes: Spoon portions of the batter onto the heated skillet. Fry each pancake for several minutes on each side until they become golden brown and cooked through, with a melted cheesy center.
- Serve warm: Serve the pancakes hot with your choice of maple syrup or jam, enjoying their soft texture and rich flavor.
Notes
- Use full-fat cottage cheese for creamier pancakes and better texture.
- You can substitute the sugar with a natural sweetener like honey or maple syrup, adjusting quantity to taste.
- Make sure the skillet is adequately heated before frying to achieve perfect golden crusts.
- These pancakes can be kept warm in a low oven while cooking the remaining batter.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated gently in a skillet or microwave.
