Ingredients
Cottage Cheese Pancakes Ingredients
- Cottage Cheese: 1 cup
- Eggs: 2 large
- All-purpose Flour: 1 cup
- Baking Powder: 1 tsp
- Milk: 1/4 cup
- Vanilla Extract: 1 tsp
- Salt: 1/4 tsp
Instructions
- Blend the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined, ensuring the cottage cheese is broken down into smaller curds for a smooth batter.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. This step ensures that the baking powder is evenly distributed throughout the flour.
- Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to dense pancakes.
- Heat the Pan: Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. If you want extra flavor, you can lightly grease it with butter or oil.
- Cook the Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side until golden brown.
Notes
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh cottage cheese and eggs will yield the best flavor and texture.
- Don’t Overmix: Stir until just combined to keep the pancakes light and fluffy.
- Monitor Heat: Adjust the heat as necessary to avoid burning the pancakes while cooking through.
- Let Batter Rest: Letting the batter sit for a few minutes can help improve the texture.
- Experiment with Toppings: Get creative with toppings like yogurt, syrup, or fresh fruit to elevate your pancake experience.
