Ingredients
- 3 egg large
- 1 cup cottage cheese full-fat
- 1 cup self-raising flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- cooking oil spray optional, no need to use any if your pan is non stick, for the frying pan
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, crack in the eggs, and use a whisk to whisk them well.
- Add the cottage cheese, and mix again for the cheese to be fully incorporated.
- Sift in the flour, add the baking powder, and whisk again.
- Heat up a frying pan on a medium heat, use some cooking oil spray and add 2 tablespoons of the batter.
- Use the back of a spoon to spread the batter into a circle.
- Cook on one side for one minute, then use a spatula to flip it over onto the other side.
- Cook the pancake for another 1 minute or until golden.
- Repeat with the rest of the batter until everything is used up.

Notes
- Depending on the brand of the cottage cheese you get, some have more of a soupy texture than others - mine wasn't, it was rather lumpy and chunky -see the photo under ingredients needed.
- If you think there is too much liquid in it, you may want to drain some before adding it to the batter, so the consistency doesn't change much.
- You will find that the batter is quite thick, and you need to use a spoon to spread it onto the frying pan, but that's the best texture, and you get super fluffy pancakes without a fail.
- You can add a bit of a milk to the batter to loosen it up a bit if you wish, but again, I find that the thicker the batter, the fluffier the pancakes - do not overmix the batter, as the pancakes will turn rubbery!
