How to Make Cottage Cheese Pancakes
1. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs until well beaten. Add cottage, vanilla, honey, and whisk until combined then stir in 1/3 cup raisins.
2. In a separate small bowl , whisk together flour and baking soda (if baking soda is lumpy, sift it into the flour). Whisk dry ingredients into wet ingredients.
3. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium/low heat. Swirl in 2 Tbsp oil then add pancake batter a heaping Tablespoon at a time, or to your desired pancakes size. Sautee until pancake is puffed and golden on the first side (about 2-3 minutes) then flip and continue cooking another 2 minutes. Repeat with remaining batches and add more oil as needed.
