INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup cottage cheese
• 2 eggs
• 1 3/4 cups of whole milk
• 1 tbsp neutral oil
• 2 tsp vanilla extract

  INSTRUCTIONS

1. Add the cottage cheese in a large bowl and use fork to smash the curds into even smaller bits as much as possible. Add eggs, milk, maple syrup vanilla, oil and lemon zest. Stir and combine well.
   
   
2. In another bowl add flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Mix together until evenly combined. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Don’t overmix, some lumps are okay. Let the mixture rest for about 5 minutes. Warm your griddle or nonstick skillet while mix rests.
   
   
3. Melt 1 tbsp of butter and swirl to coat. Work in batches, add the batter to the pan in your preferred portion size. I use about 1/3 measuring cup.
   
   
4. Cook until golden brown on the bottom and bubbles on top begin to pop. About 3 minutes each side. Serve with extra butter and milk.
