- 1 1/2 cups cottage cheese
- 4 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
For Frying
- 1/4 cup canola oil
Instructions
- Prepare the batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the ingredients in the following order: cottage cheese, eggs, vanilla extract, sugar, baking powder, and flour. Stir well after adding each ingredient to create a smooth batter.
- Heat the oil: Preheat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add the canola oil to coat the surface evenly.
- Fry the pancakes: Using a large cookie scoop or a 3-tablespoon measure, pour portions of the batter onto the hot skillet. Fry until the underside is golden brown, then flip and cook the other side until golden and cooked through.
- Serve warm: Remove the pancakes from the skillet and serve immediately with maple syrup or jam. Enjoy while the cheese inside remains warm and melty.
