Blueberry Cottage Cheese Pancakes

Ingredients

• 1 cup cottage cheese

• 3 eggs

• ¼ cup all-purpose flour

• 2 tablespoons melted butter

• ¼ teaspoon salt

• 1 teaspoon butter, or as needed

• ¼ cup blueberries, or to taste (Optional)

Directions

1. Strain cottage cheese in a sieve fitted over a bowl, pressing down occasionally, until cottage cheese has dried out, about 1 hour.

2. Beat eggs in a medium bowl; add cottage cheese, flour, melted butter, and salt. Mix until just blended.

3. Heat butter in a frying pan over medium-high heat; drop large spoonfuls of batter into the melted butter. Sprinkle blueberries into batter. Cook until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
