Delicious cottage cheese pancakes made with just a handful of ingredients. These pancakes turn out incredibly tender and soft, with a lovely hint of cottage cheese flavor. They taste like something in between fluffy kefir pancakes and soft cottage cheese fritters. Since there are no eggs in this recipe, the pancakes do deflate a little, but not nearly as much as egg-based pancakes do. This tasty, simple, and budget-friendly cottage cheese pancake recipe is perfect for a family breakfast!

Ingredients:

200 g cottage cheese
200 g kefir
150 g flour
40 g sugar
1 tsp baking soda (level)
pinch of salt
oil for frying

Preparation

Mash the cottage cheese thoroughly with a fork.

Add the kefir, sugar, and salt, and mix well. If you're using chunky cottage cheese, either press it through a fine-mesh strainer beforehand or blend it at this stage after adding the kefir.

Add the flour mixed with the baking soda. Mix until a dough forms — it will be fairly thick.

Heat vegetable oil in a skillet, or a mix of half butter and half vegetable oil. Using two spoons, drop portions of the batter into the pan to form pancakes and fry on the bottom side.

Flip the pancakes and fry the other side. Cover with a lid, reduce the heat to the lowest setting, and cook through for a few more minutes.

Serve the cottage cheese pancakes hot or warm. They pair wonderfully with sour cream and your choice of jam — I used strawberry. These cottage cheese pancakes with kefir are a delicious, satisfying dish that kids and adults alike will love!
