Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of cottage cheese, 2 eggs, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Stir until well blended. Sift in 1 teaspoon of baking powder and ½ cup of flour, mixing gently.
  2. Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of canola oil into the skillet.
  3. Using a 3-tablespoon scoop, pour pancake batter into the skillet, spacing them 2 inches apart. Cook for 2-3 minutes until edges are set and bubbles form, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  4. Transfer cooked pancakes to a warm plate and repeat the process with remaining batter, adding more oil as needed. Serve hot with toppings.

Notes

For best results, avoid over-mixing the batter to maintain fluffiness. Check baking powder freshness for light pancakes. Cook immediately after mixing for the best texture. Preheat the skillet adequately for crispy edges. Customize with fruits as desired.
