Description
Light, airy, and protein-packed pancakes that deliver a nostalgic taste of comfort food.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir until the cottage cheese is somewhat broken down, resulting in a creamy mixture (about 1-2 minutes).
- Whisk Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well mixed.
- Combine Mixtures: Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—lumps are okay!
- Prepare the Cooking Surface: Preheat a griddle or skillet over medium heat (about 350°F) and lightly grease with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
- Cook the Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle. You’ll know it’s time to flip when bubbles form on the surface (this usually takes about 3-4 minutes). Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve Hot: Remove from the heat and serve hot with your favorite toppings—think maple syrup, fresh fruit, or even a dollop of yogurt!
Notes
Let the eggs and cottage cheese come to room temperature before mixing for a smoother batter. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze them for up to a month.
