Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to fry classic fluffy cottage cheese pancakes in a frying pan? Prepare all the necessary products. The key to delicious cheesecakes is high-quality cottage cheese. Be sure to take natural cottage cheese without a milk fat substitute. In my opinion, cheesecakes made from fattier cottage cheese (9-18%) are tastier. I prefer to fry cheesecakes in any vegetable oil, but you can also fry them in butter or ghee.

Step 2

Step 2
Mash the cottage cheese with a fork. Look at the consistency of the cottage cheese: if it seems to have grains, then it would be best to rub it through a fine sieve or punch it with a submersible blender, then the texture of the cottage cheese will become more uniform.

Step 3

Step 3
Beat an egg into the cottage cheese. Before use, wash the egg with a cleaning agent in running water, as there may be harmful bacteria on its surface.

Step 4

Step 4
Mix everything well with a fork.

Add salt and stir again.

Add sugar. I use regular white sugar, but you can also use brown sugar, it will give the cheesecakes a caramel flavor. Also at this stage you can add vanilla or vanilla sugar, as well as cinnamon, to the dough.

Step 7

Step 7
Sift the flour (reserve 1 tablespoon of flour for breading). I recommend not neglecting this process, since during sifting the flour is saturated with oxygen, and the finished cheesecakes will be more airy and tender. Add flour to cottage cheese and mix everything well.

Step 8

Step 8
Take some dough and form a small cake.

Step 9

Step 9
Roll the future cheesecake on all sides in the remaining flour. Use all the dough this way.

Step 10

Step 10
Heat the oil well in a frying pan. Place the cheesecakes and cook over low heat for about 7 minutes on one side.

Step 11

Step 11
Then carefully turn the cheesecakes over and cook for 7-10 minutes. You can cover the pan with a lid and bring the cheesecakes until fully cooked so that the middle is also baked.

Step 12

Step 12
Serve fluffy cheesecakes for breakfast, afternoon snack, or just for tea. Bon appetit!
