- Step 7: Keep Warm and Serve - Keep finished pancakes warm on a plate covered with a kitchen towel or in a low oven. Serve with your favorite toppings.
Notes
For best texture, use small curd cottage cheese. If the batter is too thick, thin with milk or water. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
