Great pancakes!! thanks for sharing. -
I thought these were delicious and oh so light! This is a great way to get calcium and protein in at breakfast. I did end up thinning the cottage cheese batter with about a tablespoon of milk before folding in the egg whites. It made it easier to blend smoothly. I served mine with blueberry jam and a dusting of powdered sugar.

wow, these really were great pancakes, tho i didn't feel like the batter made for 4 servings, more like 2. it was a yummy dish all the same. i topped mine with fresh sliced strawberries in addition to strawberry preserves. -
Mine did rise and bubble like pancakes.. unfortunately, they tasted like light, fluffy, scrambled eggs. After the first one, I tried adding a little sugar and it was definitely better, but still not very good. No matter how long I cooked them, they stayed soggy. After DP spat her first one out, I deep sixed the rest of the batter and made scrambled eggs. -
These pancakes did not raise & bubble like pancakes are suppose to do. And they were kind of rubbery. I won't be using this one again.

Small town in the Okanagan, B.C.
On January 10 2010 I will celebrate 9 years of Life with Zaar. I can't imagine being without it! It has become part of my daily routine.
I feel very privileged to be one of the hosts on the Photo Forum. Taking photos of my culinary efforts is a full time hobby and I love it. My friends all know what to expect when they come to dinner "Are you finished taking pictures?" or "Did you get a photo of so & so?" I never let them wait too long and the food is NEVER cold! I now have over 6000 photos on Zaar - some fairly good and some definitely not so good. I am happy to say that practice does help.
My roots are in Vancouver BC Canada - a very beautiful city that holds many wonderful memories for me. In 1990, I decided that for my retirement years I may want to settle in a smaller community and found a slice of heaven in the North Okanagan B.C. I love living here but every once in a while I miss the bright city lights, the Broadway shows and some of the small wonderful ethnic restaurants that Vancouver abounds in. That is easily resolved. I just take a trip to the coast, visit with friends for a weekend see a show and feast on Dim Sum or other specialty foods.
I am getting a bit long in the tooth but was a very adventurous person. I have river rafted Hell's Gate on the Fraser river, been up in a glider over Hawaii (no not a Hang Glider!), gone hot air ballooning in the Napa Valley & the Fraser Valley, driven dune buggies on the dunes in Oregon, Para sailing in Mexico and tried many other adventurous, challenging, fun things. I have yet to try bungee jumping or sky diving. I may do them yet. I love to travel and experience other cultures. Mexco has been a favorite haunt. I have visited that lovely country many many times. Australia is another favorite as is England!
In the past 16 months I have taken off 61 pounds and feel wonderful. I am off all medications and all systems are GO! In years I may be 79 but in spirit I am still in my forties. We are only as old as we allow ourselves to feel. Always think positive. Do something a bit challenging every day & always do something silly every day. Be a kid again! Laugh every day - it is internal jogging.
Here are a few of my photos
