👨‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Make the batter:

   • In a bowl, whisk together eggs, then add cottage cheese, almond flour, baking powder, and salt.

   • Add vanilla or cinnamon if desired.

   • Mix until mostly smooth; a few cottage cheese curds are fine.

2. Preheat skillet:

   • Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat.

   • Add a small amount of butter, oil, or cooking spray.

3. Cook pancakes:

   • Spoon about 2 tbsp of batter per pancake onto the skillet.

   • Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and set.

   • Flip gently — they’re delicate but firm up as they cook.

4. Serve warm:

   • Top with fresh berries, sugar-free syrup, nut butter, or a pat of butter.
