Cottage Cheese and Apple Pancakes

In a bowl, combine the cottage cheese, kefir, and eggs. Add the sugar, vanilla sugar, salt, and baking soda. Mix well.

Peel the apple and dice it into small cubes. Add to the batter and stir again.

Sift in the flour and mix to a batter with the consistency of thick, viscous sour cream.

Pour vegetable oil into a skillet and heat it up.

For convenience, pour a couple of tablespoons of oil into a separate bowl. Dip your spoon in the oil, scoop up some batter, and drop the pancakes onto the skillet.

Fry the pancakes over low heat on both sides until golden brown. After flipping, cover the skillet with a lid and continue frying until golden on the other side.
