In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well blended.

In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until a thick batter forms. Do not overmix.

Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.

Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of batter onto the skillet for each pancake, spreading slightly into a circular shape.

Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter or oil to the skillet as needed.

Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as syrup, fresh fruit, or a dollop of yogurt.
