Step-by-Step Instructions for Cottage Cheese Pancakes
  1. Combine the cottage cheese, eggs, vanilla extract, and sugar in a large bowl using a whisk until fully combined.
  2. Gradually sift in the baking powder and flour, gently folding them into the batter. Allow the mixture to rest for a few minutes.
  3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes. Add canola oil ensuring the skillet is hot but not smoking.
  4. Spoon 3 tablespoons of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form, then flip and cook another 2-3 minutes.
  5. Remove from the skillet and serve immediately, topped with maple syrup, fresh fruits, or yogurt.
