Cottage Cheese Pancakes

Jeremiah LOVES pancakes.  Every. Single. Day.  So, these are a nice addition to my growing collection of different pancake varieties. Packed with protein, I feel like I can send him to preschool with a bit more in his tummy than the regular flour kind. And everyone loves these at our house, so consider doubling the recipe and saving some for having on hand for snacks.  They're great with a dollop of jam!

Ingredients:
3 large eggs
1 cup cottage cheese
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 Tblsp. honey
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt.

Directions:
Combine eggs, cottage cheese, vanilla and honey in a bowl.  Add flour, baking powder, and salt.  Mix all together. (Yes, it will be lumpy because cottage cheese is lumpy.  It's OK, carry on as usual!) Pour 1 - 2 Tablespoons on a griddle to cook them.  Do NOT try to make these larger in size because you won't be able to flip them.  Trust me. :)  Cook until they are set and have a dull sheen to them instead of shiny and glossy.  Flip them over and cook on the other side.  Serve and enjoy!
