Easy Cottage Cheese Pancakes

A simple brunch dish, savory side, or main dish that can be varied to taste. I enjoy eating cottage cheese pancakes with Indian-inspired toppings, sometimes spiced with curry or ginger, and with chutney and a sour pickle on the side. Add fry bread and a bean salad for a full meal. Feel free to add any spice, fruit puree, seeds, dried fruit, bits of meat or cheese, beans, or condiments to the batter, between 1 tablespoon and 1/2 cup.

Add enough oil to cover the bottom of a large skillet and heat over medium heat. Working in batches, drop large spoonfuls of batter into the skillet and cook until browned, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining batter.
