Cottage Cheese Pancakes

One of my favourite food websites is the Gourmet magazine website, which I came across after watching their show Diary of a Foodie. It's basically my go-to source for when I'm in the mood to make an interesting dish, which is why I was so incredibly upset to learn that after 68 years, Gourmet magazine will cease to exist. One of my favourite recipes that I discovered on the Gourmet website is for Cottage Cheese Pancakes.
These light and savoury pancakes are perfect for brunch or as an appetizer since they are really quick and easy to whip up.

Recipe:
1 medium onion, chopped
2 tbsp butter
1/4c butter, melted
1 1/2c cottage cheese
3 eggs
6 tbsp flour
salt and pepper, to taste

1. Melt 2 tbsp of butter in a skillet on medium heat. Once melted, add the onion and cook until softened.
2. Transfer onion to a mixing bowl and add the rest of the ingredients. Mix well to incorporate.
3. Drop large spoonfuls of the batter into a greased skillet and fry as you would a regular pancake. Cook on one side until you can easily flip the pancake. Make sure both sides are browned nicely.

I hope you enjoy these as much as I do!
