Someone requested a recipe for Cottage Cheese Pancakes. Mrs. R. of Newport, Oregon responded: "This is from the Chef at the Thomas Carnegie Inn on beautiful Cumberland Island, Georgia, where JFK Jr. and Caroline Bessett were married and where they stayed. My husband and I were guests there a few years ago and enjoyed these delicious pancakes. The chef was kind enough to give me the recipe."
