Ingredients
Unsalted butter
4 tablespoons (Melted)
All-purpose flour
1 3/4 cups (Sifted)
Baking powder
2 teaspoons (N/A)
Baking soda
1/4 teaspoon (N/A)
Salt
1/2 teaspoon (N/A)

Instructions
1
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
2
If you won't be serving the waffles immediately, preheat your oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit to keep them warm.
3
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat and set aside.
4
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sifted flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until fully combined.
5
In a separate bowl, beat the cottage cheese, milk, eggs, and honey together until well combined. Do not overmix; the cottage cheese should retain some of its curds.
6
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the cottage cheese mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tough waffles.
7
Fold in the melted butter until evenly incorporated.
8
Lightly spray the waffle iron grids with non-stick cooking spray.
9
Spoon about 1/2 cup of batter onto the center of the preheated waffle iron. Use the back of a wooden spoon to spread the batter slightly closer to the edges.
10
Close the lid and cook until the waffles are golden brown and cooked through, usually about 4-5 minutes or according to your waffle iron's instructions.
11
Serve the waffles immediately with your favorite syrup or a generous drizzle of honey. If not serving right away, keep them in a single layer on a rack in the warm oven to maintain crispness.
