actually healthy pancakes

This was a new recipe we tried (I did not make this one up....). It has no sugar. None. Tastes like a dessert, but there's no sugar and only 1/3 c flour, so it's good for my ADD crowd.

3 eggs, separated
3/4 c cottage cheese
1/3 c flour
1/4 tsp salt

Beat the egg whites until stiff. In a separate bowl, beat the yolks. Stir in the cottage cheese. Add the flour and salt. Mix well. Fold in the beaten egg whites. Cook like high-carb, low-nutrition pancakes. Serve hot.

I served them topped with a dab of strawberry jam and my favorite fruit dip (1 c sour cream mixed with 2 tsp vanilla--also no sugar). We folded them like tacos and ate them with no dishes.

It really tastes like a rich dessert, but is healthy!
