Cottage cheese pancakes with raisins are a classic dish of Russian cuisine, loved for their tender texture and sweet taste with a slight tang of cottage cheese. Pancakes appeared in the 19th century and became a popular breakfast in Russian families. The addition of raisins gives them special sweetness and softness, while vanilla sugar reveals a deep aroma. Fried to a golden crust over low heat, they remain tender inside. They are best served with sour cream, jam, or honey to highlight their soft structure and exquisite taste. This dish warms the soul, providing a sense of coziness and home warmth.
