Fluffy Cottage Cheese Pancakes FAQs
Why is cottage cheese a good addition to pancake batter?
Cottage cheese is a great addition to pancake batter because it adds moisture and adds a unique flavour that compliments the flavours of breakfast pancakes. Cottage cheese is high in protein to support your little ones growth and development!
What can I swap out self-raising flour for in this fluffy pancakes recipe?
Self-raising flour is an important element of this recipe because it helps the batter rise when cooking. To ensure your pancakes rise and get fluffy, you can use all-purpose flour, just be sure to add a teaspoon of baking powder and one quarter teaspoon of baking soda – together these work as a self-raising flour alternative.

Adding pancake toppings can add an element of fun and creativity to your kids’ morning routine – be sure to provide a mix of options to let your kids’ creativity (and tastebuds) run wild!
Are these Fluffy Cottage Cheese Pancakes sweet or savoury?
