Preparation
  1. In a food processor or blender, combine the Natrel Plus 2%, the Sealtest 1% Cottage Cheese and the sugar. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended. Add eggs and vanilla extract. Mix well. Set aside.

  2. In a large bowl, mix the flour and baking powder. Using a whisk, gradually add the liquid ingredients to the dry mixture.

  3. Heat a non-stick pan on low to medium heat. Once hot, coat the pan with butter. Using a 60 ml (1/4 cup) ice cream scoop, pour the batter in the middle of the pan. Spread the batter lightly with the back of a spoon.
