Ingredients

  • 1 cup of cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup of flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon of sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • Butter for cooking
  • Fresh fruit or syrup for topping optional

Instructions

  • Firstly, in a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, and vanilla extract.
  • Then, gradually add the flour and sugar to the mixture, stirring until the batter is smooth.
  • Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt a small amount of butter.
  • After that, pour small portions of the batter onto the skillet, cooking each pancake for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown.
  • Finally, serve the pancakes warm, topped with fresh fruit or syrup if desired.

Notes

Milk Quality: Using whole milk will give you a richer and creamier cottage cheese. Avoid ultra-pasteurized milk if possible, as it may not curdle well.
Acid Choices: White vinegar and lemon juice are both effective at curdling the milk. Lemon juice will impart a slightly different flavor compared to vinegar.
Cream Addition: Adding heavy cream is optional but enhances the texture and flavor of the cottage cheese. You can adjust the amount based on your preference.
Curd Size: For larger curds, stir gently. For smaller curds, stir more vigorously.
