Prepare the rhubarb: wash the stalks under cold water, trim the woody ends, and cut into pieces about 1 cm thick. Weigh out 300 g of rhubarb. In a small saucepan, place the chopped rhubarb and add about 30 g of sugar (from a total of 40 g). If using optional butter, add 20 g of butter now. Heat over low heat, stirring with a wooden spoon every 1-2 minutes.
Description
Delicate, Silesian homemade pancakes based on cottage cheese served with spring, slightly sour rhubarb and sweet honey. This is a filling yet light breakfast for children and the whole family — soft on the inside, slightly crispy on the edges, with a pleasant contrast between the sweetness of honey and the tartness of rhubarb. Inspired by traditional Silesian cuisine: simplicity of ingredients and a homemade character. Serve immediately after frying with warm rhubarb; you can also add a bit of powdered sugar or fresh mint leaves. This dish is perfect as a weekend breakfast for children or an afternoon snack during spring days.

Preparation steps
Caramelized rhubarb
Check the softness of the rhubarb with a fork — it should offer slight resistance but be soft. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool for 10 minutes. The rhubarb will thicken slightly as it cools.
Cake
Crumble the cottage cheese in a large bowl: use a fork or a potato masher to break up the lumps — you want a smooth, but not completely creamy mixture. Add 120 g of eggs (2 pieces) and about 10 g of sugar (the rest combined with the sugar for the rhubarb), a pinch of salt (1 g), and 100 ml of buttermilk. Mix with a wooden spoon or a mixer on the lowest speed for 30-40 seconds, until the ingredients are combined.
In a separate bowl, sift 150 g of wheat flour together with 10 g of baking powder. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients — combine with a wooden spoon using gentle motions until a thick, flowing batter is formed, similar to sour cream (it should not run like water). Consistency: if the mixture is too runny, add a maximum of 1-2 tablespoons (15-30 g) of flour; if too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of buttermilk.
Resting the dough
Set the prepared mixture aside for 8-10 minutes at room temperature — the flour will swell and the mixture will thicken, making it easier to shape the pancakes.
Frying
Heat a 24-26 cm skillet over medium heat. Pour in about 1 tablespoon (15 g) of canola oil and spread it across the surface. Scoop the batter with a large tablespoon and place portions in the skillet, leaving 3-4 cm of space between them. Gently flatten each portion with a spoon. Fry for 2.5–3 minutes on the first side, until the edges are golden, bubbles appear on the surface, and the bottom easily lifts from the skillet. Flip with a spatula and fry for another 2–3 minutes until golden.
Draining
Place the fried pancakes on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess fat. Keep them in a slightly warmed oven (about 80°C) if you are preparing additional batches, to keep them warm.
Serving
On each plate, arrange 3 pancakes per serving, and top with 2-3 tablespoons of caramelized rhubarb. Gently drizzle each serving with honey — use the entire 60 g of honey divided into portions. Additionally, you can sprinkle a little powdered sugar (optional). Serve immediately, while still warm.
Fun Fact
Cottage cheese pancakes are a variation of traditional Silesian homemade cakes — cottage cheese was often used in the region as an easily accessible source of protein and gave dishes a delicate, creamy texture.

Tips
Serve immediately after frying with warm rhubarb and honey. You can add natural yogurt or a dollop of cream for older children. For visual effect, garnish with a few mint leaves or a slice of strawberry (in season).
Best consumed immediately. Store in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours in an airtight container; before serving, reheat in a pan for 1–2 minutes on each side over low heat to regain crispness. Rhubarb can be stored separately in the refrigerator for up to 48 hours.
