Cottage cheese pancakes with dried apricots are a delicate and airy treat that carries the warmth of home. This recipe was born at the intersection of European traditions, where cottage cheese holds a prestigious place in baking. The sweet tang of apricots soaked in aromatic liqueur gives the pancakes a refined taste, while whipped egg whites make them light and porous. These pancakes are perfect for a morning breakfast or a cozy family tea time. Serve them with honey, jam, or sour cream – in any variation they will bring true pleasure!
