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 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
