Can I use low-fat cottage cheese?

Oh honey, I wouldn't! Full-fat gives that irresistible creamy texture while low-fat versions make pancakes weepy and dense. That extra richness is what takes these from "healthy alternative" to "I-don't-miss-regular-pancakes" territory.

Can I make them gluten-free?

Absolutely! Just swap the all-purpose flour for your favorite gluten-free blend (I like 1:1 baking mixes). The batter might be slightly thinner, so let it rest a few extra minutes to thicken up before cooking.

My batter seems thick - is that normal?

Yes! Unlike traditional pancake batter, this one should be quite thick - almost like muffin batter. That's what creates those signature fluffy clouds. If it's truly unspreadable, add milk one teaspoon at a time.

Can I prep the batter ahead?

You can mix it the night before, but the baking powder works best fresh. If you do refrigerate it, expect slightly denser pancakes - still delicious though!

Why don't mine look perfectly smooth?

Those little cottage cheese specks are totally normal - they're like flavor pockets! If you want completely smooth, blend the cottage cheese alone first until silky.
