To prepare these delicious cheese-filled pancakes, start by thoroughly mixing the cottage cheese with the salt, sugar, eggs, and half of the amount of sour milk (buttermilk). Make sure all the ingredients are well integrated to achieve a homogeneous mixture. Once you have a smooth paste, gradually add the flour and continue mixing until the flour is completely incorporated and there are no lumps. This dough base will be essential for achieving fluffy and tasty pancakes. In a separate bowl, combine the other half of the sour milk with baking soda, mixing well to dissolve it completely. Then, combine the two mixtures: the cheese dough and the sour milk mixture. Blend well to achieve a consistency similar to thinner sour cream. If you notice that the dough is too thick, feel free to thin it out with a little milk until it reaches the desired consistency. Once the dough is ready, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a little oil and let it heat up well. Meanwhile, prepare to pour a ladle of dough into the skillet, being careful to rotate the skillet to give it a uniform shape, similar to a thicker pancake. Cook the pancakes over low heat, carefully observing the edges; when they start to brown, it is time to flip the pancake to the other side. On half of each pancake, add 1-2 teaspoons of the previously prepared filling. Then, fold the pancake in half to form a semicircle. Continue to fry the pancake over low heat for another 5 minutes, flipping it halfway through to cook evenly. Be careful not to break the pancakes or let the filling spill out, as they are very fragile and must be handled with care. Repeat this process until you have used all the dough and filling. Once finished, let the pancakes cool slightly before serving. These cottage cheese pancakes are delicious both warm and cold, and they stay fluffy and tender for several days, making them an excellent choice for breakfast, snack, or dessert. Enjoy them with a dollop of sour cream or a fruit sauce for a perfect culinary experience!
