In a bowl, combine cottage cheese, eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the cheese mixture, stirring until a thick batter forms.

Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Spoon portions of the batter into the skillet to form pancakes.

Cook until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Remove from the skillet and place on paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Dust with powdered sugar and serve with sour cream or jam.
