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
For Frying
- 1/4 cup canola oil
Instructions
- Prepare the batter: Combine the cottage cheese, eggs, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl. Mix these ingredients well before adding the sugar, then baking powder, and finally the flour, mixing thoroughly after each addition until a smooth batter forms.
- Preheat the skillet: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the canola oil, allowing it to warm thoroughly to ensure even frying and a crispy exterior.
- Fry the pancakes: Using a large cookie scoop (about 3 tablespoons), drop portions of the batter onto the skillet. Fry each pancake until golden brown on one side, then flip and cook the other side until golden and cooked through, with melted cheese inside.
- Serve warm: Remove the pancakes from the skillet and serve immediately while hot, accompanied by maple syrup or jam for added sweetness and flavor.
Notes
- This recipe yields approximately 16 pancakes, making about 8 servings with 2 pancakes each.
- Use a large cookie scoop to portion the batter evenly for consistent pancake sizes.
- Ensure the skillet is properly preheated and the oil is hot before adding batter to prevent sticking.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and warm, melty cheese filling experience.
- You can substitute all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour for a gluten-free version.
