Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons butter (for cooking)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, milk, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Step 2
In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Mix well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
Step 3
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix; some lumps are fine.
Step 4
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of butter, letting it melt and coat the surface.
Step 5
Using a ladle or 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour the batter onto the skillet to form pancakes. Cook each pancake for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form and the edges look set.
Step 6
Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 7
Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
Step 8
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a dollop of yogurt.
