Step-by-Step Instructions for Cottage Cheese Pancakes
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, vanilla extract, sugar, baking powder, and flour in this exact order. Mix thoroughly until just combined.
  2. Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes. Add the canola oil and swirl to coat the surface evenly.
  3. Pour the batter onto the skillet, forming 3-inch circles. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until bubbles form. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
  4. Transfer pancakes to a warm plate, cover lightly with a kitchen towel, and serve hot with toppings like maple syrup or fresh fruit.
