Description
These Latvian-inspired cottage cheese pancakes with raisins are nice for breakfast, lunch, or a snack--try topping them with butter and honey or a touch of maple syrup.
Ingredients
•
1 cup cottage cheese
•
1/2 cup raisins
•
2 eggs
•
2 tablespoons white sugar
•
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
•
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
•
1/4 teaspoon salt
•
2 tablespoons canola oil
•
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Directions
1
Mix together cottage cheese, raisins, eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl until well combined. Add flour slowly, mixing until incorporated and batter is very thick.
2
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Drop batter by tablespoonfuls onto the hot skillet and cook for 1 minute. Flip and flatten slightly with a spatula, cook until browned on the other side, about 2 minutes more. Flip back to the first side and cook until browned, about 1 more minute. Repeat with remaining batter.
