Ingredients

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

  1. Prepare the batter: Combine cottage cheese, eggs, vanilla extract, sugar, baking powder, and flour in that order. Mix thoroughly after adding each ingredient to ensure a smooth batter without lumps.
  2. Heat the skillet: Preheat a skillet over medium heat and add the canola oil, spreading it evenly to prevent sticking and to achieve a crisp outer layer on the pancakes.
  3. Cook pancakes: Spoon portions of the batter onto the skillet and fry each pancake on both sides until they turn golden brown with crispy edges, ensuring the cheese inside melts fully.
  4. Serve hot: Serve the pancakes immediately with maple syrup or your favorite jam to enjoy their melty center and crispy edges at their best.

Notes

  • For fluffier pancakes, avoid overmixing the batter once the flour is added.
  • Use medium heat to prevent burning the pancakes before the inside cooks through.
  • Feel free to substitute canola oil with other mild oils like vegetable or sunflower oil.
  • Serve immediately as the crispy texture is best enjoyed fresh.
