Cottage Cheese Pancakes - First Attempt

This is my first attempt at making the "Cottage Cheese Pancakes" recipe posted by 'erp7e' on one of my favorite fitness forums. The recipe might seem a bit unusual, but these are tastier than you might expect. I added about tsp or so of Flax Oil about half way through my batter, and it seemed to add a bit of firmness to the pancakes. They are thinner than standard pancakes, but they will also keep you "thinner" than standard pancakes. Don't use more than 1/4 cup of batter for each one, cook over low heat, and I recommend adding the Flax Oil and about a scoop of Whey Protein. Here is the original recipe as posted by erp7e:

Cottage cheese pancakes

Have gotten several requests for this one. These taste pretty good and are fairly high in protein, at least as far as pancakes go.

3 eggs
1 cup cottage cheese
2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons flour or cornmeal
Optional: powdered milk or whey protein.

Beat eggs with a small mixer (or blender). Add cottage cheese and mix until fairly smooth. Add powdered milk or whey, if desired, and mix again until smooth. Add butter and flour. Bake as usual for pancakes.

These really are pretty great, especially if you are looking for a higher protein, lower carb version of pancakes. Top them with some Sugar Free Syrup or Jelly, or combine the Syrup and Jelly with some Cottage Cheese/Sour Cream/Cream Cheese for more of a Blintz style crepe. These give 'em a try, and don't eat too many if you are really watching the carbs and calories. Great treat for the muscle bulkers and low carbers! -Ben
