Description

To make the cheese pancakes as tender and fluffy as possible, use medium-fat cottage cheese and mix the batter thoroughly until smooth. Don't hesitate to adjust the amount of flour, adding it gradually to maintain a balance between the softness of the cottage cheese and the shape of the patties. Fry over medium heat to ensure the pancakes are evenly browned and remain juicy inside.

Ingredients

Cottage cheese - 17.6 oz
Chicken Egg - 1 piece
Sugar - 3 tablespoons
Vanilla salt - 1 teaspoon
Wheat Flour - 4 tablespoons
Salt - a pinch
Vegetable Oil - to taste
Sour Cream - to taste
Jam - to taste
Fresh Berries - to taste
Honey - to taste

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Prepare the cottage cheese: if the cottage cheese is grainy, it is recommended to pass it through a sieve or beat it with a fork several times to eliminate lumps. It is important to achieve a smooth texture.

Step 2

In a deep bowl, mix the cottage cheese, egg, sugar, vanilla sugar, and a pinch of salt. Then gradually add the flour, starting with three tablespoons. The dough should not be too sticky or too thick. The optimal consistency is when the mixture can be easily shaped into a patty.

Step 3

Dust the working surface with flour. Take a small amount of the cottage cheese mixture, shape it into a small patty, and coat it in flour. If the dough is slightly sticky, you can add a little more flour, but in moderation, to avoid an overly floury taste.

Step 4

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add vegetable oil so that it thinly coats the bottom. Carefully place the cheese pancakes in the skillet and fry for about 3–4 minutes on each side until a golden crust forms. The frying should be done slowly to ensure the pancakes are well-cooked inside and retain their tender structure.
