Ingredients
- 1½ cups cottage cheese (360g)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons melted butter plus more for cooking
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (120g)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In the canister of a blender, combine the cottage cheese, ¼ cup water, eggs, sugar, and melted butter. Blend on medium-low speed for about 30 seconds, until fully combined.
- In a large bowl, whisk to combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the cottage cheese mixture to the flour mixture and stir gently to combine.
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Once hot, brush with butter to lightly grease the pan. Working in batches, add ¼ to ⅓ cup of batter for each pancake. (It will spread slightly).
- Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, until golden on the bottom and bubbles start to appear on the top. Flip over and cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes or until golden brown and the center is set. Adjust the heat to medium-low as needed, if the pancakes are browning too quickly before the center is set. Grease the skillet between batches with more butter, as needed.
- Serve hot with butter, fresh berries, and a drizzle of maple syrup.

Notes
- These pancakes work as either a sweet or savory breakfast. For a sweet preparation, add up to 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. For a savory preparation, reduce the sugar to 1 tablespoon.
- For a richer pancake, replace the water with whole milk, buttermilk, or non-dairy milk.
