Sumptuous Foursome Pancakes

1 cup sour cream
1 cup cottage cheese
3/4 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoon sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla
extract
4 eggs, separated
Maple syrup, cognac, optional

1. Combine sour cream, cottage cheese,
flour, sugar, vanilla and egg yolks
in a mixing bowl. Beat thoroughly to
blend.
2. Beat the whites until stiff and fold
them in.
3. Lightly butter a griddle. Ladle about
1/3 cup of batter for each pancake.
Cook until browned on one side. Turn
and cook on the other side. Continue
ladling the batter and cooking until
all the batter is used. Be sure to
stir the batter from the bottom as it
is used so that it maintains its con-
sistency.

sired, with cognac to taste
