Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, mash the cottage cheese until mostly smooth, leaving some small lumps for texture if desired.
  2. Add the eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, and milk to the mashed cottage cheese, then whisk until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined; be careful not to overmix the batter.
Cooking
  1. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt a small amount of butter or coat lightly with cooking spray.
  2. Pour about ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the hot surface, leaving some space for spreading.
  3. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through, flipping gently with a spatula.
  4. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
Serving
  1. Serve the cottage cheese pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh berries, or a dollop of yogurt.

Notes

For extra fluffy pancakes, let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking. You can also add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dry ingredients for added flavor.
