Cooking pancakes on cottage cheese can not be called a difficult process, especially since they are usually made from unleavened dough. However, to obtain the best result, the hostess needs to know and take into account several important points.

It also has significantly less beneficial properties than natural cottage cheese made from cow's milk. When choosing a curd, always pay attention to its composition and shelf life. An even better idea would be to make cottage cheese yourself from milk or kefir, but even here the quality of the products can play an important role.

- Filling can be added to cottage cheese dough for fritters. She can serve fresh or dried fruit, fresh greens. The amount of sugar is adjusted according to your taste, but it is never put too much, otherwise the pancakes will brown a lot before they bake inside and start to burn.
- In order to fry pancakes, heat the butter in a cast-iron pan, then spread the dough into it with a spoon, making a short distance between the future pancakes. When it becomes clear that the products are browned on the edges, they are turned over and fried for a couple of minutes on the other side.
