Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat)
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (for frying)
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for garnish)
- 0 n/a fresh berries or jam (optional for serving)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well-incorporated.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 3
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing; the batter should be slightly thick but scoopable.
Step 4
Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter. Allow the butter to melt and coat the pan evenly.
Step 5
Using a spoon or small ladle, drop about 2 to 3 tablespoons of batter per latke onto the hot skillet, spreading slightly with the back of the spoon to form round pancakes.
Step 6
Cook the latkes for 2 to 3 minutes on one side, or until the edges start to set and the bottoms are golden brown. Flip and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes, until cooked through and golden brown on both sides.
Step 7
Transfer the cooked latkes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess butter. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the pan as needed.
Step 8
Dust the latkes with powdered sugar before serving and garnish with fresh berries or a dollop of jam if desired.
Step 9
Serve warm and enjoy these irresistibly sweet cottage cheese latkes!
