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
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: Combine the cottage cheese, eggs, vanilla extract, sugar, and baking powder in a mixing bowl. Mix well after each addition to ensure everything is evenly incorporated.
- Add Flour and Mix Batter: Gradually add the flour to the mixture and stir thoroughly until a smooth, consistent batter forms.
- Preheat Skillet and Add Oil: Place a skillet on medium heat and pour in the canola oil. Allow the oil to heat until shimmering before cooking.
- Cook Pancakes: Spoon the batter onto the hot skillet, forming pancakes of your desired size. Fry each side for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve Warm: Remove the pancakes from the skillet and serve them hot, garnished with maple syrup or jam to enhance their creamy texture and flavor.
Notes
- For fluffier pancakes, do not overmix the batter; mix just until combined.
- You can substitute cottage cheese with ricotta for a similar texture.
- Adjust sugar amount to your preferred level of sweetness.
- Use a non-stick skillet to prevent sticking and reduce the amount of oil needed.
- These pancakes can be frozen and reheated in a toaster or microwave.
