Description
Quick, protein-rich pancakes made with cottage cheese, perfect for breakfast, brunch, or an easy weeknight meal.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1–2 tablespoons sugar (optional)
- Oil or butter for frying
Instructions
- Combine 1 cup cottage cheese, 2 large eggs, and 1–2 tablespoons sugar (or leave out for savory) in a mixing bowl. Whisk until mostly smooth.
- Whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a separate bowl.
- Pour the dry mix into the wet ingredients gradually. Stir gently until just combined; batter should be slightly lumpy.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add a thin layer of oil or a small pat of butter.
- Spoon or pour batter onto the skillet to form pancakes about 3–4 inches wide.
- Cook for 2–3 minutes until bubbles form at the surface and edges look set. Then, flip and cook for another 2–3 minutes until golden brown.
- Transfer finished pancakes to a warm plate and keep loosely tented with foil while cooking the rest.
Notes
These pancakes can be served sweet with syrup or savory with toppings like smoked salmon or herbs. For a lighter texture, avoid overmixing the batter.
