Cottage Cheese Pancakes

Story:
Norton family favorite. High protein, simple, meatless meal. Yummy.
Ben likes these okay, but we used to joke early on in our married years, because he, first of all, doesn't like cottage cheese and, second of all, he said that these don't really seem like pancakes. You know, like when you think you have milk in your cup, but then it's water, how it throws you off a little? He said it's weird to call these pancakes, because the consistency and flavor is different, and although he likes them, he says that he can't bite into them thinking that they are "pancakes." I used to try to disguise them by making up names like "Cheesy Crepes" or something like that. But whatever... they're just cottage cheese pancakes.

Ingredients:
1 pint cottage cheese
1/2 C flour
6 eggs
6 T oil
dash of salt

Directions:
Mix all ingredients and cook on a griddle like regular pancakes. But cook them on a lower temperature than you would regular pancakes or else the cheese will burn and stick. Sometimes they turn out "prettier" than other times. I'm not exactly sure what makes the difference, but they always taste good!
The kids eat them with syrup, but I think they are best served with applesauce or jam!
