How to Make Passover Cottage Cheese Pancakes

Lightly oil a griddle or large frying pan and heat over medium heat.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, matzah meal, sugar, baking powder, and salt until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gradually add the milk, a tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired batter consistency. The batter should be slightly thick but pourable.
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. Flip when bubbles start to appear on the surface and the edges look set.
Serve immediately with fresh strawberries, yogurt, or your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
For non-Passover use, substitute 1 cup all-purpose flour for the matzah meal.
