Cottage cheese pancakes

This was the first thing they taught us how to make at school. 
While the boys were building bird houses, the girls were learning how to cook. It was a grade school in the USSR after all. A woman had to know how to cook and sow for her family and a man had to know how to nail stuff. Nevertheless, these are low fat, melt in your mouth cottage cheese pancakes, called Syrniki. 

You will need : 
1 package of 1% cottage cheese
2 eggs
1/2 cup flour 
Pinch of salt
4 tbs sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract 
1/2 tsp baking soda 

Just mix everything in a big bowl. Heat up the frying pan, add some olive oil and pour the pancake mixture with a spoon, making little pancakes. Be careful when you flip them, they are very fragile. 
Serve with syrop or honey or jam or sour cream. 
Enjoy! :-)
