This is a wonderful recipe! My husband, son and I all really enjoyed them. My husband said they are his favourite pancakes now! I made them just as the recipe says and had no problems with consistency or anything. However, I will try them with ricotta instead of cottage cheese. Also, I have substituted 1/4 cup of the flour with oat bran to add some fiber. That works out just fine. Thanks so much for sharing this great recipe, Chris from Kansas!

Very good (moist) and easy to make. I used freshly ground whole wheat and ricotta (didn't have cottage cheese and it's better for you anyways!) When I blended it, it didn't make a vortex, so I added a little more milk. I think it made it thin out too much. Next time I won't add the extra milk and see if they turn out more fluffy. Update: I've tried this with whole grain that I "cracked" in the blender and it turned out just as good. I think I'll try increasing the baking powder next time to get the pancakes not so thin.
