Cookbook date: August 8

3/4 cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)

1 tablespoon sugar

3/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

3/4 cup low-fat (1%) cottage cheese

2/3 cup milk

2 large egg whites

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

5 teaspoons vegetable oil

1. In a large bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda. Stir in cottage cheese, milk, egg whites, and vanilla.
2. In a large nonstick skillet, heat 2 teaspoons oil over medium. Working in batches, drop cottage cheese mixture by 1/4 cupfuls into pan (2 or 3 at a time).
3. Cook until bottoms are set and tops have small bubbles, about 1 minute. Turn pancakes and cook until just firm in the center, 1 to 3 minutes more. Repeat, using remaining 3 teaspoons oil for the other batches.

Sorry I don't have a picture, folks. They look like pancakes, though (trust me). We made no substitutes (shocking, I know!). When I took my first bite I thought that they weren't done in the middle. I was wrong, but the cottage cheese does throw you off for the first few bites.
Overall, I thought these were really tasty, and I'll make them again. I wouldn't call them "to die for" but they are a good switch from the standard pancake.
