Curd pancakes

Curd pancakes are traditionally made by mixing cottage cheese, flour, eggs, and sugar and then frying on a pan. To reduce the amount of flour my mom used to add banana. This also made them a little bit sweeter and tastier. I sometimes substitute sugar for condensed milk or honey, or add vanilla extract in addition to sugar. You can also swap flour for semolina, but I prefer to use plain flour. There are many ways to make them interesting and tasty.

Here is the traditional recipe:

  • 250g of fine cottage cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tbsp of sugar
  • 3 tbsp of flour
  • 3 tbsp of sunflower oil

Use food processor to chop the cottage cheese. Beat the egg with sugar and then add your fine cottage cheese. Mix well and add one table spoon of sunflower oil to make pancakes more tender. The rest of the oil is used for frying.

Add flour and sugar to the dough and mix everything together. Cut the small pieces, wrap in some flour and fry on both sides until golden crisp. Use medium heated pan.
