Step 1: Prepare the Pancake Batter
Beat the eggs: Crack two eggs into a mixing bowl and beat them well until light and frothy.
Add yogurt and sugar: Whisk in the natural yogurt (or sour cream) and 30 grams of sugar. Mix until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
Sift in dry ingredients: Gradually add the flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt to the wet ingredients, stirring continuously. Ensure the batter is smooth and lump-free. The texture should be thick but pourable. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow the ingredients to blend well.
Step 2: Make the Cottage Cheese Filling
Mix cottage cheese: In a separate bowl, combine the cottage cheese, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and vanilla sugar.
Add yogurt or sour cream: Mix in a tablespoon of yogurt or sour cream to create a creamy consistency.
Slice the banana: Mash or finely chop the banana and fold it into the cottage cheese mixture. Set this filling aside as you prepare the pancakes.
Step 3: Cook the Pancakes
Preheat the pan: Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter or oil to grease the pan lightly.
Pour the batter: Using a ladle, pour a small amount of batter onto the pan (around 1-2 tablespoons per pancake). Spread it slightly into a round shape.
Cook until bubbles form: Cook the pancakes for about 2-3 minutes on one side, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set.
Flip and cook the other side: Carefully flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat: Continue cooking the remaining batter until all the pancakes are ready.
Step 4: Assemble the Pancakes
Spread the filling: Take a cooked pancake and spread a generous amount of the cottage cheese and banana filling on top.
Layer or fold: You can either stack another pancake on top to create a layered stack or fold the pancake over the filling to make a stuffed pancake.
Repeat with all pancakes: Repeat this process for the remaining pancakes and filling.
Step 5: Garnish and Serve
Dust with icing sugar: Before serving, dust the pancakes with a light sprinkling of icing sugar for a sweet finishing touch.
Optional toppings: You can also serve with extra banana slices, honey, or maple syrup for added sweetness.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):
1. Can I substitute cottage cheese with ricotta?
Yes! Ricotta is a great substitute for cottage cheese if you prefer a smoother texture. It will still provide the creaminess and balance the sweetness of the banana.
