Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, salt and sugar. In your blender or magic bullet,beat together eggs, egg whites, cottage cheese, buttermilk and oil. Add flour mixture to egg mixture and whisk until completely blended.

Spray a large skillet or griddle with cooking spray then heat over medium heat. Working in batches, form each pancake by spooning about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet. Cook, flipping pancakes once, until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, about 5 minutes total. Transfer to plates and serve.
