Equipment
- 1 mixing bowl
- 1 whisk
- 1 measuring cups
- 1 measuring spoons
- 1 non-stick skillet or griddle
- 1 spatula
- 1 ladle
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup milk or more as needed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon sugar optional
- as needed butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese and eggs until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar (if using).
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently to combine. The batter should be thick; add milk slowly until you reach your desired consistency.
- Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of butter or oil.
- Once the skillet is hot, pour about ¼ cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake, approximately 3-4 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or yogurt.
Notes
For a more decadent touch, you can add chocolate chips or blueberries to the batter.
You can store leftover pancakes in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze them for later use. Reheat in a toaster or microwave before serving.
