Ingredients

BATTER
1 cup (250 mL) Canadian cottage cheese
¼ cup (60 mL) Canadian 2% milk
3 large eggs
1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
2 tsp (10 g) baking powder
1 tsp (5 mL) vanilla extract
1 tbsp (15 mL) maple syrup
2 tbsp (30 mL) Canadian unsalted butter (for cooking)

GARNISH
2 tbsp (30 mL) Canadian unsalted butter
2 cups (246 g) fresh berries
Maple syrup, as desired
Canadian whipped cream (optional)

Directions

1. Batter: Add the cottage cheese, milk and eggs to a blender and blend
until smooth.
2. In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients with a whisk. Add the blended
batter ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk gently.
3. Stir in the vanilla extract and maple syrup.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add butter. When the butter
is melted and bubbling slightly, scoop batter into the pan and cook until
edges are dry and bubbles begin to form on the pancake.
5. Flip the pancake and cook until golden and cooked through, about
1-3 minutes.
6. Stack cooked pancakes on top of one another to keep warm.
7. Garnish: Top with butter, berries, syrup, whipped cream and enjoy

Tips

Out of maple syrup? Mix 2 tbsp of softened butter with ½ tsp
of sugar and a pinch of cinnamon. It makes a quick, delicious topping for pancakes or waffles.
