Categories     Brunch, Dessert

Time 40m

Yield Serves 2-4 (2 for brunch or 4 as a dessert)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 eggs
150g ricotta
80ml whole milk
115g self-raising flour
2 tbsp caster sugar
butter, for frying
crème fraîche, to serve (optional)
4 blood oranges, peeled and sliced
4 tbsp light brown soft sugar
1 tsp vanilla bean paste
40g salted butter, cubed

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. First, prepare the oranges. Put the slices in a baking dish with the sugar, vanilla and butter. Roast for 15 mins, then remove from the oven and reduce the heat to 150C/130C fan/gas 2.
  • Separate the egg whites and yolks into two bowls. Mix the ricotta and milk into the bowl with the yolks, then stir in the flour and sugar. Whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt until fluffy and aerated, then fold a spoonful into the ricotta and egg yolk mixture until loosened, then fold in the rest, being careful not to knock out the air.
  • Heat a little butter in a non-stick pan and add 2 spoonfuls of batter per hotcake. Cook on a medium-low heat for 3-4 mins on each side. Keep the cooked ones warm in the oven while you work with the rest of the batter. Serve the warm hotcakes with the blood oranges, along with their syrup, and some crème fraîche on the side if you like.

Tips:

  • Use fresh blood oranges for the best flavor. If you can't find blood oranges, you can substitute regular oranges, but the pancakes will not have the same vibrant color.
  • Be sure to zest the oranges before juicing them. The zest adds a lot of flavor to the pancakes.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the pancakes tough.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat. If the heat is too high, the pancakes will burn before they are cooked through.
  • Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, or fruit.

Conclusion:

Blood orange whole wheat ricotta pancakes are a delicious and healthy breakfast option. They are made with whole wheat flour, ricotta cheese, and fresh blood oranges. The pancakes are light and fluffy, with a slightly tangy flavor. They are perfect for a weekend brunch or a special occasion breakfast.
