Fluffy cheese pancakes with rice flour are a refined blend of tender cottage cheese and airy texture achieved through rice flour. Their origin is rooted in Russian cuisine, where cheese pancakes became an integral part of cozy family breakfasts. Light, slightly sweet, with subtle vanilla notes, they literally melt in your mouth. Frying in clarified butter gives them a golden crust, while the final baking in the oven makes them especially airy. These pancakes pair perfectly with sour cream, berries, or honey, turning an ordinary morning into a gastronomic delight.
