Simple Cottage Cheese Pancakes

Ingredients

• 1 cup cottage cheese
• 3 eggs
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon butter, or as needed
• 1/4 cup blueberries, or to taste (optional)

Directions

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

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

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.
