Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
- 3 eggs
- 0.5 cup matzo meal
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons butter or oil for frying
- 0 powdered sugar or maple syrup (for serving, optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well blended.
Step 2
Add the matzo meal, sugar, and salt to the bowl. Stir until the mixture forms a thick batter. Let the batter rest for a few minutes to allow the matzo meal to absorb some moisture.
Step 3
Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter or oil and let it melt, spreading it evenly across the surface.
Step 4
Using a 1/4-cup measure, scoop the batter onto the skillet, forming small pancakes. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
Step 5
Flip the pancakes carefully and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked through.
Step 6
Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep them warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter or oil as needed.
Step 7
Serve the pancakes warm with powdered sugar or maple syrup, if desired.
