Serves: 6   Total time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

• 2 cups cottage cheese (about 450 g)
• 6 large eggs (about 300 g without shells)
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (about 180 g)
• 2 teaspoons baking powder (about 8 g)
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup or sugar (about 30 g)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla (about 5 g)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt (about 3 g)
• Butter for the skillet (about 14 g)
• Fruit or maple syrup, for serving

Directions

1. Whisk the cottage cheese, eggs, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt. Leave the cottage-cheese curds visible, or blend briefly for a smoother batter.
2. Stir in the flour and baking powder just until combined. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
3. Melt a little butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Cook small pancakes for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through.
