Step 1

Mix together cottage cheese, raisins, eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl until well combined. Add flour slowly, mixing until incorporated and batter is very thick.

Step 2

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Drop batter by tablespoonfuls onto the hot skillet and cook for 1 minute.

Repeat with remaining batter.
