How to Make Cottage Cheese Pancakes Levivot

  1. Whisk 2 large eggs until light and fluffy.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the fluffy eggs, 1 cup small-curd cottage cheese, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ¼ teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon granulated sugar. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
  3. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  4. Add 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon vegetable oil to the hot skillet. Heat until the butter is melted and the oil shimmers.
  5. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake, leaving space between each. Gently flatten slightly with the back of a spoon.
  6. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip when bubbles start to form on the surface and the edges look set.
  7. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter and oil as needed.
  8. Drain cooked pancakes on a wire rack or paper towels to remove excess grease.
  9. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  10. Serve the pancakes immediately, sprinkled generously with the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Optional: Add a dollop of sour cream or a drizzle of honey for extra deliciousness!
