Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour blend (ensure it contains xanthan gum)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese (small curd preferred)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter, plus more for greasing the pan
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Toppings

  • Fresh fruit
  • Maple syrup
  • Whipped cream
  • Chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar until evenly combined.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the cottage cheese, eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients bowl and gently fold together until just combined. Avoid overmixing; small lumps in the batter are acceptable.
  4. Rest the Batter: Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the ingredients to hydrate and the leavening agents to activate for better texture.
  5. Heat the Griddle: Preheat a lightly greased griddle or a non-stick frying pan over medium heat to prepare for cooking the pancakes.
  6. Pour the Batter: Spoon about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the hot griddle, leaving enough space between them to spread.
  7. Cook the First Side: Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes until golden brown on the bottom and bubbles form on the surface.
  8. Flip and Cook the Second Side: Carefully turn the pancakes using a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the other side is golden brown and cooked through.
  9. Serve: Serve the pancakes immediately while warm and fluffy. Add your preferred toppings like fresh fruit, maple syrup, or whipped cream before serving.

Notes

  • Use small-curd cottage cheese for the best texture in the pancakes.
  • Allowing the batter to rest helps improve pancake fluffiness and texture.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes tender.
  • Gluten-free flour blends vary; ensure one with xanthan gum is used to help bind the pancakes properly.
  • Feel free to substitute dairy milk with non-dairy alternatives such as almond or oat milk.
  • Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven while finishing the batch if cooking for multiple servings.
