Ingredients

1 cup cottage cheese

2 large eggs

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons milk

1 tablespoon butter (for cooking)

Instructions

1. Whisk together cottage cheese and eggs in a large bowl, or blend for a smooth batter.

2. In another bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt.

3. Combine dry ingredients into the wet mixture, then add vanilla and milk. Stir gently.

4. Preheat a skillet or griddle with a bit of butter over medium heat.

5. Scoop 1/4 cup batter for each pancake onto skillet.

6. Cook for 2–3 minutes, flip when bubbles form, then cook another 2 minutes.

7. Serve hot with toppings like maple syrup, berries, or yogurt.

Notes

For ultra-smooth pancakes, blend the batter until creamy.

Freeze leftovers in a single layer before storing in a bag to keep them from sticking.
