Description
Not sure what to do with extra cottage cheese? For a delicious breakfast, try these fluffy and moist homemade pancakes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup small-curd cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Vegetable oil or butter, for cooking
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a separate large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, whole milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Add the dry ingredients into the wet and gently whisk until just blended without overmixing. Allow to sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
- Heat an electric griddle or a large skillet to a medium heat setting. Lightly grease with oil or butter.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter per pancake onto the griddle or skillet, leaving room in between each. Cook until small bubbles begin to form on the surface, 1-3 minutes. Flip to cook the other side until golden brown, 1-2 minutes.
- Transfer the pancakes to serving plates and repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil or butter as needed to the griddle or skillet*. Serve while they’re hot!
Notes
If you prefer to serve the pancakes all at once rather than in batches, place the cooked ones in a single layer on an oven-safe wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet. Transfer the baking sheet to an oven preheated to 200°F to keep them warm while you continue cooking the remaining batter.
