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
- 1/4 cup canola oil
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: Combine all ingredients in the specified order. Start by placing the cottage cheese in a mixing bowl, then add eggs, vanilla extract, sugar, baking powder, and finally the flour. After adding each ingredient, mix thoroughly until the batter is smooth and well combined.
- Preheat Skillet and Fry: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the canola oil. Once the oil is hot, spoon portions of batter onto the skillet to form pancakes. Fry each pancake for about 2-3 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes until golden and cooked through.
- Serve Warm: Remove the pancakes from the skillet and serve immediately while warm. They pair wonderfully with maple syrup or your favorite jam, enhancing the creamy and slightly tangy flavor of the cottage cheese inside.
Notes
- For best results, use full-fat cottage cheese to achieve a tender, moist texture.
- You can substitute canola oil with vegetable or melted butter.
- If the batter is too thick, add a tablespoon of milk or water to loosen it slightly.
- Cook pancakes on medium heat to ensure they cook through without burning on the outside.
- These pancakes freeze well; reheat in a toaster or microwave.
