In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of cottage cheese, 2 eggs, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and ½ cup of flour. Stir gently until blended but slightly lumpy.

Set your skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of canola oil. Heat for 2-3 minutes until shimmering.

Drop the batter onto the hot skillet, forming small pancakes. Fry for about 3-4 minutes until edges look firm and the bottom is golden brown.

Carefully flip each pancake using a spatula once golden brown. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the second side is golden.

Remove pancakes from the skillet and serve warm with maple syrup, fresh fruits, or powdered sugar.
