Ingredients

• 1 cup (8 oz) (250g) cottage cheese
• 2 large eggs (about 4 oz) (115g)
• 1/4 cup (2 fl oz) (60ml) milk
• 2 tablespoons (1 oz) (30g) unsalted butter, plus more for frying
• 1/2 cup (2 oz) (60g) all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
• 2 tablespoons (0.9 oz) (25g) sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon (0.07 oz) (2g) salt

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, milk, sugar, and salt. Mix well until the mixture is mostly smooth.
2. Add the flour to the bowl and stir until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.
3. Dust your hands and a work surface with a little extra flour. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and shape into small, thick patties.
4. Lightly coat each patty with flour on both sides.
5. Heat 2 tablespoons (1 oz) (30g) of butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
6. Fry the patties in batches for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
7. Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
8. Serve warm, optionally with sour cream, jam, or fresh berries.

Tip

For extra flavor, add a splash of vanilla extract or a handful of raisins to the batter before shaping the pancakes.
