Description
These Cottage Cheese Pancakes are crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside, offering a delicious twist on traditional pancakes. They’re also known as ‘French toast pancakes’ in our house—a fun, tasty way to switch up your breakfast routine!
Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 1½ cups cottage cheese
- 1 cup flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: Crack the eggs into a large bowl and beat just until combined. Add the cottage cheese, flour, sugar, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt. Gently mix to combine.
- Cook the Pancakes: Heat a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of butter and let it melt. Pour about ¼ cup of batter into the melted butter for each pancake. (You can cook 4 pancakes at a time.) Cook the pancakes until golden brown on the first side, then carefully flip and cook until the second side is golden as well.
- Finish Cooking: Remove the pancakes from the skillet and set aside. Add another 2 tablespoons of butter to the pan and cook the next batch. Use the final 2 tablespoons of butter for the last batch if needed.
- Serve: Serve the pancakes warm with syrup, berries, or your favorite toppings.
Notes
- These pancakes are best enjoyed right away while they’re still warm and crispy on the outside.
- If you prefer a thicker pancake, add a little more flour to the batter until the desired consistency is reached.
- You can also make mini pancakes by using less batter per pancake, perfect for kids or a fun brunch spread.
