Ingredients
Scale
For the 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 frying
For Serving
- Butter
- Maple syrup
Instructions
- Make Batter: Add cottage cheese, egg, flour, baking powder, and salt to a blender in this order and blend until smooth to create the pancake batter.
- Melt Butter: Heat a nonstick pan over medium-high heat for about one minute. Add 1/2 tablespoon butter and melt it evenly across the pan.
- Cook Pancake: Pour the blended pancake batter all at once into the pan to form one large pancake.
- Flip and Finish: Cook until bubbles form on top of the pancake (about 1-2 minutes). Check the underside to ensure it is golden brown, then flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fully cooked through.
