Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup cream cheese (softened)
- 1/4 cup cottage cheese
- Oil for cooking
Instructions
-
Prepare the Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda. This will ensure that the dry ingredients are evenly distributed and will help create light and fluffy pancakes. -
Mix Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, measure out the buttermilk and oil. Whisk these ingredients together until well combined. -
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Crack the egg into the buttermilk mixture and whisk until the egg is fully incorporated. Gradually whisk this mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; a few lumps are okay. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the pancakes tough. -
Preheat the Skillet
Heat 1-2 teaspoons of oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Ensure the skillet is well-oiled to prevent sticking. -
Cook the Pancakes
Pour 1/4 to 1/2 cup of batter into the hot skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles start to form in the middle of the pancake and the edges begin to brown. Flip the pancake when these signs appear. Continue to cook until the other side is golden brown and the pancake is cooked through. The center should rise slightly and become golden on the bottom. -
Keep Warm
Remove the pancake from the skillet and place it on a warming plate or in a low oven to keep warm while you cook the remaining pancakes. Continue to heat oil in the skillet and cook the rest of the batter. -
Prepare the Topping
In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and cottage cheese until smooth. This mixture will add a creamy and tangy element to your pancakes. -
Serve
To serve, spread a layer of strawberry jam or syrup on each pancake, and top with a dollop of the cream cheese and cottage cheese mixture. Enjoy your warm, fluffy buttermilk pancakes with these delicious toppings! 🍓🧀
