Ingredients
Scale
Pancake Batter
- 1/4 cup cottage cheese (4% milkfat)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (or 2 1/2 tablespoons gluten free all-purpose flour)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
For Cooking
- 1/2 tablespoon butter
For Serving
- Maple syrup
- Butter
Instructions
- Make Batter: In a blender, add cottage cheese, egg, flour, baking powder, and salt in that order. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined, creating a creamy pancake batter.
- Melt Butter: Heat a nonstick pan over medium-high heat for about a minute. Add 1/2 tablespoon of butter and allow it to melt completely, coating the pan.
- Cook Pancake: Pour all the batter into the pan to create one large pancake. Cook without disturbing until bubbles begin to form on the surface, approximately 1 to 2 minutes.
- Flip and Finish: Once the bottom is golden brown, carefully flip the pancake. Cook for another 1 to 2 minutes on the other side until cooked through and golden.
- Serve: Remove the pancake from the pan and serve immediately with butter and maple syrup, or your preferred toppings.
Notes
- You can substitute all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour for a gluten-free option.
- Adjust the amount of baking powder slightly if you prefer fluffier pancakes.
- Use a nonstick skillet for best results and easy flipping.
