Cottage cheese pancakes with raisins are a classic treat loved in many European cuisines. Their history roots back to Slavic traditions where cottage cheese was always an important part of the diet. Tender with a crispy golden crust, they delight with their softness inside, while the sweet notes of soaked raisins add a pleasant contrast to the flavor. The vanilla aroma makes them especially cozy, evoking warm memories of home breakfasts. These pancakes pair perfectly with sour cream, honey, or jam, turning into a full dessert or nutritious breakfast. They are easy to prepare and allow for experimentation with add-ins like nuts or fruits, creating new variations of this traditional dish.
