Ingredients
Show ingredients
- cottage cheese - 500 g;
- egg - 2 pcs;
- sugar - 2 tbsp;
- flour - 2 tbsp. (no heap) + for breading;
- vanilla sugar - ½ packet;
- salt;
- refined oil.
Preparation
- Choose fresh, fatty, and non-sour cottage cheese so that the pancakes in the frying pan turn out successful, fluffy, and well-baked. The cottage cheese should be dense, without whey. If it is still a bit damp, it is necessary to get rid of the excess moisture. You can squeeze it using cheesecloth or, wrapping it in several layers of paper towel, place it in the refrigerator for a while. Then mash it with a spoon, thoroughly breaking up all the lumps. To make it easier to mash, add the sugar from the recipe to the mass. Do not add more than two tablespoons of sugar. Achieve a uniform cheese mass. When mashing, also add salt and vanilla sugar.
- For 500 g of cottage cheese, take 2 chicken eggs.
- Take a whisk and beat the two small raw chicken eggs. Pour the egg mixture into the cottage cheese mass, mixing everything thoroughly.
- Now add the previously sifted flour. Sprinkle in small portions, mixing to distribute the flour evenly. The dough for pancakes turns out to be pasty, slightly sticky, but pleasant to work with. Divide the dough into equal pieces. Pour flour onto a plate and coat a piece of dough in it, rolling it into a ball. Then form a thick pancake (1.5 cm thick), giving it a nice round shape. Shake off the excess flour from the blanks to prevent it from burning during frying. This portion yields 8 decent-sized blanks.
- Find a frying pan of the right size to fit all the pancakes at once without leaving any free space. It is preferable to take a frying pan with a thick bottom. Then generously pour vegetable oil into it and place it on the stove. When the oil heats up quite well, place the blanks in the frying pan. There should be a lot of oil so that the pancakes float in it.
- Fry the cottage cheese pancakes in the frying pan in hot oil, but over low heat. First, fry one side until golden brown, and then brown the second side as well.
- Since we fried in a large amount of fat, transfer the finished pancakes from the frying pan onto a paper towel so that the excess fat drains off.
- Serve hot with cherries in gelatin, or with other jam, or with homemade sour cream.
