How to Make Fluffy Cottage Cheese Pancakes

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup (240g) cottage cheese, 2 large egg yolks, 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar, 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth.
  2. In a separate clean, dry bowl, beat 2 large egg whites with a pinch of salt using an electric mixer until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  3. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the cottage cheese mixture in two additions, being careful not to deflate the egg whites.
  4. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a lightly oiled griddle or large skillet over medium heat.
  5. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Bubbles will appear on the surface before flipping.
  6. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, maple syrup, or a dollop of sour cream.
