Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour blend Make sure 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 is best
  • 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

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese, eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold them together until just combined. A few small lumps are totally okay!
  4. Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes to help the pancakes puff up beautifully.
Cooking
  1. Heat a lightly greased griddle or non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
  2. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake, leaving space between each.
  3. Cook the pancakes for about 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbles begin to form on the surface.
  4. Gently flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  5. Serve these warm and fluffy pancakes immediately, topped with your favorites.

Notes

You can store these pancakes in the fridge for about 3-5 days in an airtight container. They can also be frozen for up to 2 months, separated with parchment paper. Reheat them in the microwave or a hot skillet for best results. Consider adding a splash of cinnamon to the batter for extra flavor.
