📝 Recipe for soft cottage cheese pancakes without flour
⏱ Preparation time:
20–25 minutes

🍽 Servings:
4 servings

Ingredients:
600 g soft cottage cheese (preferably in a tub or well drained)
1 egg
4 tablespoons of sugar
1 packet of vanilla sugar
8 tablespoons of semolina (adjust the amount according to the moisture of the cottage cheese)
oil or butter for frying
powdered sugar for sprinkling
Step-by-step procedure:
1️⃣ Put the cottage cheese in a bowl, add the eggs, sugar and vanilla sugar. Mix thoroughly.

2️⃣ Add the semolina and mix again. If the mixture is too thin, add a little more semolina. Let stand for 5-10 minutes so that the semolina absorbs the moisture.

3️⃣ Roll the mixture into a roll and cut into equal pieces.

4️⃣ Shape each piece into a round pancake.

5️⃣ Heat a small amount of fat in a pan and fry on both sides until golden brown on medium heat.

6️⃣ Sprinkle the finished pancakes with powdered sugar and serve warm.

Tips for a perfect result 👩‍🍳
If the cottage cheese is too wet, let it drain beforehand.
The mixture should be soft but pliable.
Fry on medium heat – too high could cause the surface to burn and the middle to be raw.
For a lighter version, you can use less sugar or add a little lemon zest.
How to serve?
These pancakes taste great:

with fresh fruit (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
with homemade jam
with Greek yogurt
with a drizzle of honey
or just lightly dusted with powdered sugar
In winter, they also taste great with warm fruit puree.
