  1. Let’s start by making classic fluffy cottage cheese pancakes in a frying pan. Gather all the necessary ingredients. The key to delicious pancakes is high-quality cottage cheese. Make sure to use natural cottage cheese without milk fat substitutes. In my opinion, pancakes made with richer cottage cheese (9-18%) taste better. I like to fry my pancakes in any vegetable oil, but you can also use butter or ghee.
  2. Mash the cottage cheese with a fork. Check the consistency of the cottage cheese; if it has some grains, it’s best to either strain it through a fine sieve or blend it with an immersion blender to make the texture smoother.
  3. Add an egg to the cottage cheese. Before using the egg, be sure to wash it with detergent under running water to remove any potential harmful bacteria.
  4. Mix everything thoroughly with a fork.
  5. Add salt and mix again.
  6. Incorporate the sugar. I typically use regular white sugar, but you can also use brown sugar if you want to impart a caramel flavor to the pancakes. You can also add vanilla extract or vanilla sugar and a pinch of cinnamon at this stage.
  7. Sift the flour (leaving 1 tablespoon for dredging). I recommend not skipping this step, as sifting the flour helps it absorb oxygen, resulting in airier and more delicate pancakes. Add the sifted flour to the cottage cheese mixture and thoroughly combine everything.
  8. Take a portion of the dough and shape it into a small flat cake.
  9. Roll the future pancake in the remaining flour, ensuring that it’s coated on all sides. Repeat this process with the entire dough.
  10. Heat the oil thoroughly in a frying pan. Place the pancakes in the pan and cook them over low heat for about 7 minutes on one side.
  11. Carefully flip the pancakes and continue cooking for another 7-10 minutes. You can cover the pan with a lid to ensure that the pancakes are fully cooked through in the center as well.
  12. Serve these light and airy pancakes for breakfast, as a snack, or with tea. Enjoy your meal!
Recipe Notes

Important Note:
Selecting the right cottage cheese is crucial for the success of your cottage cheese dough or filling. The quality of the cottage cheese directly impacts the consistency, flavor, and final outcome of your baking. Low-quality cottage cheese can negatively affect your results.

Another important consideration is the type of oil you use. Oils are safe and beneficial up to a certain temperature, known as the smoke point. Beyond this point, the oil begins to burn, and harmful substances, including carcinogens, can form. To determine if your oil is adequately heated in the pan, you can perform a simple test. Dip a wooden spatula into the oil, and if you see bubbles forming around it, it’s a sign that the oil is ready for frying.

Lastly, it’s worth emphasizing that the choice of the right frying pan is essential for achieving the best results in any recipe. An improperly selected frying pan can compromise even the finest recipes.
