Latvian Cottage Cheese Pancakes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese (preferably farmer’s cheese)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Butter or oil for frying
  • Sour cream or jam for serving

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese and eggs. Use a fork or whisk to mix until well blended. The mixture should be smooth with minimal lumps of cheese.
  2. Add the sugar, flour, baking powder, salt, and vanilla extract to the cottage cheese mixture. Stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of butter or oil to grease the surface.
  4. Once the skillet is hot, pour a spoonful of batter onto the skillet, making pancakes of your desired size. Leave enough space between pancakes as they will expand slightly.
  5. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side.
  6. Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter or oil to the skillet as needed.
  7. Serve the pancakes warm with a dollop of sour cream or your favorite fruit jam for a perfect finish.
