Really yummy and filling. A treat.

I've been using this recipe for years. My kids love it! I use light sour cream, fat free cottage cheese and egg substitute. I use thawed frozen strawberries, and nearly always make a double batch to keep on hand for the week. Great recipe!

I love to make homemade pancakes and have serveral good recipes. This is my favorite because it is lower in carbs and just tastes the best. I do like to add a little baking power and baking soda and a dash of nutmeg. Sometimes I add a little almond flavoring too and add blueberries or cut up fresh or frozen cranberries or chocolate or cinnamon chips. I make a double batch and put them in the frig for breakfast during the week. They are also great for supper!

This deserves a 4 star rating. It has saved wrong & I don't know how to change it. Sorry about that. I will see if I can contact anyone, so it shows correctly.

I've never had a better pancake recipe, and I will make this often. Even the kids who say they don't like cottage cheese loved them, but of course I didn't make the batter in front of them. I used homeade strawberry syrup and didn't serve them with berries, and they were still excellent.
