Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups cottage cheese
- 4 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 cup flour
- 1/4 cup canola oil for frying
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: Combine all ingredients in order—start with cottage cheese, then add eggs, vanilla extract, sugar, baking powder, and finally the flour. Mix thoroughly after adding each ingredient to form a smooth batter.
- Preheat Skillet: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the canola oil, spreading it evenly to prepare for frying the pancakes.
- Fry Pancakes: Using a large cookie scoop or approximately 3 tablespoons of batter, drop pancakes onto the hot skillet. Fry them until golden brown on each side, about 2-3 minutes per side, ensuring the cheese inside melts and batter cooks through.
- Serve Warm: Remove the pancakes from the skillet and serve immediately with maple syrup or your choice of jam while still hot and soft inside.

- A large cookie scoop (about 3 tablespoons) is ideal for measuring the pancake batter to keep sizes consistent.
