A delightful twist on classic pancakes, incorporating cottage cheese for a creamy texture and rich flavor.
Separate the egg into two mixing bowls, one for the yolk and one for the white.
Ensure the bowls are clean and dry for the egg whites to whip properly.
Whisk the egg white until it forms soft peaks.
Use a clean whisk or mixer to achieve the best results.
In the bowl with the egg yolk, add the cottage cheese, flour, salt, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
Mix thoroughly to ensure a smooth batter without lumps.
Gently fold half of the whipped egg white into the yolk mixture to lighten it, then fold in the remaining egg white until just combined.
Be gentle to maintain the airiness of the batter.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it.
Ensure the skillet is evenly heated before adding the batter.
Spoon the batter onto the skillet, forming small circles. Cook until the edges set and the underside is golden, then flip and cook the other side.
Cook in batches to avoid overcrowding the skillet.
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit or syrup.
Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
