Lemon Cottage Cheese Pancakes

This is quite a simple recipe for Lemon Cottage Cheese Pancakes, shared with us many years ago by the chef of the former Coolfont Resort & Spa.  It’s basically doctored pancake mix, so use either a natural grocerynbought version, or, add the lemony ingredients to your own  prepared mix.  The result is a family approved pancake that won’t have anything thinking “cottage cheese.”  Just “creamy goodness.”  Delicious topped with crushed blueberries, which pair wonderfully with lemon.
