Sorry about the messed-up fonts. I predict that blogger.com is going to start feeling bad really soon and sponsor some awesome giveaways on our site in penance.
I don't really like pancakes. Usually I end up eating way too many of them and I just feel gross after and wish I had ordered oatmeal. Except for these. They are so good that my dad AND sister requested them for their joint birthday celebration (oh, and we got to go out the night before where my husband and I had our wedding rehearsal dinner). They are so good that we used to eat them all the time for dinner when I was growing up, and they were as close as I had to a "craving" when I was pregnant. My mom will also add that they're healthy, since they have cottage cheese in them (she's right -- except, honey, not when you use them as a canvas for two tablespoons of butter and a quarter cup of maple syrup and get a headache after, just saying).
They are also super-easy to make, and super-vintage. Just check out this recipe from a Styrofoam egg carton from before I was born:

| I will translate in case you can't read fronts from 1983: |
In blender, combine:
1 c cottage cheese
6 eggs
1/2 c flour
1/4 t salt
1/4 c oil
1/4 c milk
1/2 t vanilla
Blend. Make sure your griddle/pan is really hot. You won't need much oil. Sometimes I wonder what my life would have been like if my mom hadn't bought that particular carton of eggs.

| These aren't dense and doughy like regular pancakes. The outside is almost crispy and the inside is soft and melty, which is why you need to let your pan get hot. |
 |
| I like them with jam (that's how I've always eaten them since I was a kid), but, honey, it's your preoperative how you eat them, just don't come to me for sympathy when you're in a food coma. |
