Blintz Pancakes

Crafty Lady 13's Note:

Blending sour cream and cottage cheese--ingredients traditionally associated with blintzes--into the batter of these pancakes provides them with their old-fashioned flavor. Top the family favorites with berry syrup to turn an ordinary morning into an extraordinary day. Another great recipe from Taste of Home's Busy Family Cookbook.

These pancakes were excellent. They really do remind one of Blintz's. The flavor was outstanding. The pancakes were light, tender and full of flavour, quick and very easy to make. I will be making these often. I made a strawberry and blackberry sauce to pour over the pancakes so decadent. Thanks for sharing this treat with us.

Very tasty! My wife and I loved these gooey pancakes that tasted more like blintzes than pancakes. The whole batch only took about 30 minutes to make and it was easy to make on a workday morning. Thanks!

These pancakes were very nice tasting, what with the unusual flavor added by the sour cream & cottage cheese ~ Easy to make & great eating! I served them with some homemade strawberry syrup & some slices of fresh berries for a great breakfast! Thanks for sharing your recipe! [Made & reviewed while in Eastern Europe on Zaar's World Tour 4]
