Ingredients
  

Pancake Ingredients
  • 1 cup Cottage Cheese
  • 2 Eggs large
  • 1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 tbsp Sweetener e.g., maple syrup or sugar
  • Salt pinch
  • Butter or Oil for cooking

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowls (2)
  • Whisk or Fork
  • Non-stick Pan or Griddle
  • Spatula

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese and eggs until mostly smooth, then stir in the vanilla extract and your chosen sweetener.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt, ensuring they are well mixed.
  3. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined; be careful not to overmix the batter to maintain fluffiness.
Cooking
  1. Heat a lightly greased non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat, then pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake.
  2. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the pancakes are golden brown and cooked through in the center.
  3. Serve the fluffy cottage cheese pancakes immediately with your preferred toppings.

Notes

For extra fluffiness, avoid overmixing the batter; lumps are okay. Serve with your favorite toppings like fresh fruit, maple syrup, or a dollop of Greek yogurt for added protein.
