How to Store Simple Gluten-Free Cottage Cheese Pancakes

Tips to Make Simple Gluten-Free Cottage Cheese Pancakes

• Make sure to blend the ingredients just until combined; overmixing can make pancakes tough.
• For a fluffier pancake, separate the egg whites from the yolks. Whip the egg whites until they form soft peaks, and then fold them into the batter gently.
• Adjust the thickness of the batter by adding a little more flour or liquid if needed.

Variation

You can add some cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter for added flavor. For a sweeter pancake, add sugar or honey as per your liking.
