- 4 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 cup flour
For Frying
- 1/4 cup canola oil
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the cottage cheese first, then mix in the eggs, vanilla extract, sugar, and baking powder one by one. After each addition, mix thoroughly to combine well.
- Add Flour: Gradually add the flour and continue mixing until the batter is smooth and well combined.
- Preheat Skillet: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add canola oil to coat the surface evenly.
