Beat the Eggs: Crack the eggs into a bowl and beat them well with a spoon until they become foamy. This helps incorporate air into the batter, making the pancakes light and fluffy.
Add Wet Ingredients: Once the eggs are beaten, add the cottage cheese, honey, melted butter, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Mix everything together until the ingredients are fully combined.
Add Dry Ingredients: Now it’s time to mix in the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir the batter gently until everything is moistened. Don’t worry if the batter is slightly uneven—that’s totally normal!
Prepare the Griddle: Grease your griddle with non-stick spray to prevent sticking. Preheat the griddle to medium heat, making sure it’s hot enough to cook the pancakes but not so hot that they burn.
Cook the Pancakes: Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake. You can cook up to six pancakes at a time. Let them cook for about 2-3 minutes, until bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to look dry. Then flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side until they are golden brown.
Serve and Enjoy: Once your pancakes are cooked, it’s time to serve them! Stack them high and top with your favorite toppings for a truly indulgent breakfast.
Tips
Don’t overmix: When adding the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, be careful not to overmix. A few lumps are okay, as they’ll create the perfect fluffy texture.
Check the heat: Make sure your griddle or skillet is at the right temperature before cooking. If it’s too hot, the pancakes will burn; if it’s too cool, they’ll take too long to cook.
Keep pancakes warm: If you’re making a large batch, keep the pancakes warm in the oven on a low setting while you cook the rest.
