Steps:
- Drain the cottage cheese as well as you can in a strainer or a colander.
- In a medium bowl combine cottage cheese (2 cups), eggs (2), salt (1 teaspoon) and rice / corn flour (1 cup). The dough should be sticky but not runny. Add some more flour if it’s too runny. Set aside for 10-15 minutes.
- Heat a frying pan over medium heat, adding a thin layer of oil.
- In a bowl add some corn flour (½ cup ). Scoop a ¼ cup of cottage cheese batter and roll it in flour and shape a ball. With floured hands, tap the ball gently to remove any excess flour. Flatten them to shape into patties 1-inch thick.
- Fry both sides on low-medium heat until golden brown crust for about 3-4 minutes each side. Place on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Serve with Sour Cream and Garlic Dip or yogurt, maple syrup or honey, any of your favorite jam (Chia Seed Jam with Frozen Fruit / Chia Seed Jam with Fresh Fruit). Enjoy!
