Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (or a gluten-free blend)
- Optional: pinch of salt, 1 tsp sugar or maple syrup, dash of cinnamon, 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix cottage cheese and eggs until fairly smooth, leaving some curds for texture if desired.
- Stir in the flour until the batter holds together but stays thick. Let the batter rest for 2-3 minutes.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium and add a small knob of butter or a splash of oil.
- Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of batter per pancake into the pan, spacing them apart. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden and edges set. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
- Serve warm with toppings of your choice.
Notes
For extra fluffiness, fold the batter gently and avoid overmixing. Leftover pancakes pair nicely with soups.
