Fluffy Cottage Cheese Pancakes Recipe
Description
These pancakes start with well-beaten eggs mixed with cottage cheese, vanilla extract, and honey for sweetness and flavor. Optional raisins add texture and natural sweetness. Dry ingredients including flour and baking soda are whisked separately and folded into the wet mixture to create a smooth batter.
Cooking in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat with a small amount of oil allows the pancakes to develop a golden crust while maintaining a fluffy, slightly creamy interior. The pancakes puff up during cooking and benefit from gentle heat to avoid burning or excessive splatter.
Serving suggestions include topping with sour cream, maple syrup, fresh fruit, or jam. The recipe provides tips for accurately measuring flour to ensure the right batter consistency. The pancakes can be enjoyed warm immediately from the skillet or kept warm until serving.
Ingredients
- 16 oz cottage cheese small curd
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 Tbsp honey
- 4 egg large
- 1/3 cup raisins regular or white raisins
- 1 cup all-purpose flour measured correctly, plus 2 Tbsp
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 2 Tbsp extra light olive oil for each batch
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs until well beaten. Add 16 oz cottage cheese, 1 tsp vanilla, 3 Tbsp honey and whisk until combined. Stir in 1/3 cup raisins, if using.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together 1 cup + 2 Tbsp flour and 1 tsp baking soda (if your baking soda has any lumps at all, sift it into the flour). Whisk the dry ingredients into your wet ingredients.
- Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium/low heat and add 2 Tbsp oil. Once the oil is hot, place a heaping tablespoon of pancake batter into the hot oil and sauté until golden and puffed up (about 2-3 min per side). I recommend a splatter guard since these do create a little bit of a splatter. If it's splattering alot, turning the heat down will help. Serve warm with sour cream, maple syrup, fruit or jam, or all of the above!
Notes
- Measure flour by fluffing, spooning into measuring cup, then leveling off for accuracy.
- Cook pancakes over medium-low heat to prevent burning and reduce oil splatter.
- Serve warm with toppings such as sour cream, maple syrup, fruit, or jam.
