Blintz Pancakes

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.
