Scale
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (or whole wheat pastry flour)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat, small curd recommended)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Additional:
- Oil
Instructions
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup of flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon.
- Blend Wet Ingredients: In a blender or food processor (or a separate bowl), combine 1 cup of cottage cheese, 2 large eggs, 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Blend until smooth (or whisk thoroughly).
- Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix. If the batter appears to be too thick, add a splash of milk.
- Preheat Griddle: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over low-medium heat. Add a little oil.
- Cook Pancakes: Once the pan is hot, pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan for each pancake. Cook until you see bubbles forming on the surface and the edges become firm, about 4-5 minutes.
- Flip and Cook: Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until they are cooked through.
- Serve: Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.
Notes
- You can customize these pancakes by adding fruits or nuts to the batter.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup used.
