Ingredients
- 250 g (9 oz) cottage cheese
- 2 eggs
- 4 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- pinch of salt
- 2 tbsp sour cream
- butter for frying
Instructions
- Blend the cottage cheese with the eggs until completely smooth — a smooth batter is the secret to the fluffiest pancakes, as Serious Eats explains in their pancake guides.
- Stir in the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and sour cream to make a thick batter.
- Fry spoonfuls of batter in butter over medium heat for 2-3 minutes per side until golden and puffed.
- Serve warm with sour cream, jam, or fresh berries.
Tips
- Blend the cottage cheese and eggs until completely smooth — lumps make dense, heavy pancakes.
- Keep the heat at medium; too hot and the outsides brown before the insides cook through. Allrecipes has handy tips on nailing griddle temperature.
- Keep finished pancakes warm in a low oven while you fry the rest of the batch.
