How to Make Fluffy Cottage Cheese Pancakes
- 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.
- 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.
- Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the cottage cheese mixture in two additions, being careful not to deflate the egg whites.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a lightly oiled griddle or large skillet over medium heat.
- 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.
- Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, maple syrup, or a dollop of sour cream.
