Maslenitsa Cottage Cheese Pancakes

Cottage cheese pancakes are one of the most iconic dishes of Maslenitsa week, turning thin pancakes from a simple dessert into something hearty enough for breakfast or a festive table. The filling ends up mildly sweet and firm enough to hold together when the pancake is folded.

Medium-fat cottage cheese works best here — cheese that’s too dry tends to crumble and fall apart inside the pancake when it’s sliced, while cheese that’s too wet makes the filling watery. If your cottage cheese seems on the dry side, add a touch more sour cream; if it’s too wet, drain it in a sieve for 10-15 minutes before mixing in the rest of the ingredients.
