Cottage Cheese Pancakes

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.

In another bowl, combine the eggs, cottage cheese, and melted butter, and vanilla extract and mix until well combined.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Allow the batter to rest for about 15-30 minutes at room temperature. This helps the ingredients to fully combine and the gluten in the flour to relax.

Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.

Use a 3-tablespoon cookie scoop to pour the batter onto the hot skillet, creating even-sized pancakes.

Cook until the edges look set and bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side.

Serve hot with your preferred toppings.
