Fluffy Cottage Cheese Pancakes

This recipe makes 12-13 pancakes. You can substitute the flour for one of your choice, but I find half and half works well to keep them fluffy. Also, you can blend your wet mixture if you want to smooth out lumps. You do want your batter to be pretty thick though, almost like a cake batter consistency.

Notes

*Keep in mind cottage cheeses are all different, so if yours is dryer, you might need to add more milk to batter, if batter too wet, just add a touch more flour. You want the batter fairly thick, not runny.[br][br]Serve with fresh fruit, a little butter and real maple syrup or honey
