Instructions:

- Add the cottage cheese, milk, and vegetable oil to the eggs. Mix until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredient mixture, stirring gently with a spatula or a wooden spoon until just combined. Make sure not to overmix to keep the texture fluffy.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with a small amount of vegetable oil or cooking spray if needed.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. Spread the batter slightly with the back of a spoon if needed.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake and the edges begin to look set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Carefully flip the pancake and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side until golden brown and cooked through.

Tips:
- Ensure your baking soda is fresh to achieve maximum fluffiness in your pancakes.
- Beat the eggs well before incorporating them into the batter to add extra air and lightness.
- Use a non-stick skillet or griddle to cook the pancakes, and preheat it properly to ensure even cooking and browning.
- Cook the pancakes on medium heat to ensure they cook through without burning on the outside.
- If you prefer a smoother texture, you can blend the cottage cheese before adding it to the batter.
- Let the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking to allow the flour to fully hydrate and the baking soda to activate.
- Experiment with mix-ins like blueberries, walnuts, or chocolate chips to add variety to your pancakes.
