Ingredients

Scale

1 cup small curd cottage cheese
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
2 large eggs
½ cup whole milk (or low-fat)
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp melted butter

Instructions

Gather your tools: mixing bowl, whisk, frying pan or griddle, and spatula.
In one bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
In another bowl, whisk together cottage cheese, eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth.
Gradually combine wet and dry ingredients without overmixing—lumps are welcome!
Preheat your skillet over medium heat and coat with butter.
Pour about half a cup of batter for each pancake; cook until bubbles form on top (about 3 minutes), then flip and cook until golden brown.
