Ingredients
Scale
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
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, add the cottage cheese first, then crack in the eggs. Mix gently after each addition. Next, stir in the vanilla extract, sugar, and baking powder, mixing well each time to fully incorporate.
- Add Flour: Gradually add the flour to the mixture, stirring thoroughly to form a batter without lumps.
- Preheat Skillet: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the canola oil, allowing it to warm up for frying the pancakes evenly.
- Cook Pancakes: Using a large cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop about 3 tablespoons of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Fry each pancake until golden brown on one side, then carefully flip and fry the other side until equally golden and cooked through.
- Serve Warm: Remove pancakes from the skillet and serve immediately while hot and the cheese inside is melted. Complement with maple syrup or jam as desired.
Notes
- This recipe yields approximately 16 pancakes, enough for 8 servings assuming 2 pancakes per serving.
- Using a large cookie scoop (around 3 tablespoons) helps keep pancake sizes consistent.
- For a healthier option, you may substitute canola oil with a lighter oil or non-stick spray, but adjust frying time accordingly.
- Serve pancakes hot for best texture and flavor as cheese melts inside.
- You can add fresh fruit or powdered sugar as toppings for extra taste and visual appeal.
