FAQs
1. Can I use low-fat cottage cheese?
Yes, low-fat cottage cheese will work fine. However, full-fat cottage cheese provides a creamier texture.
2. What should I do if the mixture seems too thick?
If the batter is thicker than you’d like, you can add a little water or milk to reach your desired consistency.
3. Can I make this recipe vegan?
You can try using flax eggs (1 tablespoon flaxseed meal mixed with 2.5 tablespoons water per egg) in place of eggs and adjust other ingredients accordingly to suit your diet. Keep in mind the texture may vary.
