Whole Wheat Cheese Blintz Pancakes

3 eggs
3/4 cup whole-wheat flour
6 Tbsp milk
4 1/4 tsp pure maple syrup
1/4 plus 1/8 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 cups cottage cheese (can substitute ricotta cheese or yogurt)
Butter, for cooking
Berry jam, for topping

1. In a blender, combine the eggs, flour, milk, syrup, baking powder, and cottage cheese.  Blend just until combined, less than 30 seconds.
2. Heat the griddle to 350 degrees or set a large saute pan over medium low heat.  Melt the butter, and then add the batter by the spoonful and cook until lightly brown on both sides, about 5 minutes total.
3. Top with berry jam and serve warm.

Try #1 - February 8, 2014
Yum... yum.  Yum.  We used ricotta cheese.  We also did a second batch with yogurt, which made the batter a lot runnier and harder to work with.  Seems better to stick with cottage cheese or ricotta.  Did I mention yum?
