Ingredients
- 1 cup Cottage cheese
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 Large eggs
- 2 tbsp Sugar
- 1 tbsp Baking powder
- 1/4 tbsp Baking soda
- 1/4 tbsp Salt
- 1/4 tbsp Vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup Milk
- Butter or oil for frying
- Fresh blueberries
- Maple syrup
- Powdered sugar
- Butter
Instructions
Mix Wet Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, add cottage cheese, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.
Combine Dry Ingredients:
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, sugar (if using), baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Combine Wet and Dry:
- Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir until just combined. If the batter is too thick, add a bit more milk to reach a thick but pourable consistency.
Cook Pancakes:
- Add a little butter or oil to a non-stick skillet or griddle and heat it over medium heat.
- Each pancake should have around 1/4 cup of batter added to the griddle.
- Cook until the edges appear set and bubbles appear on the surface, about 2 to 3 minutes. Cook for a further one to two minutes after flipping, until golden brown.
Serve:
- Arrange the pancakes on a platter and garnish them with fresh blueberries, powdered sugar, and a pat of butter. Drizzle with maple syrup and enjoy!
