Time 30m

Yield 14 pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup fresh whole milk ricotta
1 cup buttermilk, shaken
3 extra-large eggs
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons grated lemon zest (2 lemons), plus extra for serving
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
6 tablespoons clarified butter
8 to 10 ripe figs, 1/2-inch diced
Salted butter and pure maple syrup, for serving

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the ricotta, buttermilk, eggs, sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. While stirring with a rubber spatula, add the flour mixture to the ricotta mixture and mix just until combined. Set aside for 5 minutes.
  • Heat a large (12-inch) saute pan over medium heat. Pour in a tablespoon or two of the clarified butter and heat until the butter sizzles. Stir the batter with a rubber spatula. Using a standard (2 1/4-inch) ice cream scoop, drop level scoopfuls of batter into the pan and allow them to cook for a few minutes, until bubbles appear all over the top. While the pancakes cook, distribute the figs on the pancakes, then turn to cook on the other side, until they spring back when lightly touched. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding clarified butter to the pan as needed. Transfer to plates, sprinkle with lemon zest, dot with butter, and drizzle with maple syrup. Serve hot.

LEMON-RICOTTA PANCAKES

If these pancakes were any lighter, they would float off the plate--and I didn't even separate the eggs and whip the whites. Also, I used water instead of milk--and I liked them better that way. I like to serve these with a pat of butter, a pinch of lemon zest, and a drizzle of maple syrup.

Time 31m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 12

¾ cup cold water or milk
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ cup ricotta cheese
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest (just the yellow part of the skin)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 large egg
⅛ teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 cup self-rising flour
2 tablespoons self-rising flour

Steps:

  • Whisk water and baking soda together in a mixing bowl. Add ricotta cheese, lemon zest, vegetables oil, sugar, egg, and vanilla. Whisk until smooth, breaking up lumps of cheese as you mix. Add melted butter, lemon juice, and 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons self-rising flour. Whisk together, stirring until most of flour disappears into the batter.
  • Let batter sit at room temperature about 15 minutes.
  • Heat lightly greased cast iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Portion out 1/4 cup scoops of batter onto skillet (cook in batches). When bubbles begin to form on the surface and the edges of the pancakes start to look dry (2 to 3 minutes), flip and cook other side until cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a warm plate.

Light & fluffy pancakes with a soft flavour

Provided by misslaffan

Time 15m

Yield Serves 12

Number Of Ingredients 7

250g/9oz ricotta cheese
5 tbsp golden caster sugar
3 Large eggs, separated
Finely grated rind of 1 lemon
2 tbsp melted butter
55g/2oz plain flour
Warmed cherry or blueberry conserve to serve

Steps:

  • Place the ricotta cheese, sugar and egg yolks in a large bowl and mix together. Stir in the lemon rind and melted butter. Sift in the flour and fold in. Place the egg whites in a separate bowl and whisk until soft peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the ricotta mixture.
  • Put a non-stick frying pan onto a medium heat and add heaped tablespoons of the mixture allowing room for spread. Cook for 1-2 minutes or until the underside is coloured then turn over and cook for another 2 minutes.
  • Serve with warmed conserve and enjoy.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ricotta cheese, lemons, and figs will give your pancakes the best flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the pancakes tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat: Medium heat will help the pancakes cook evenly without burning.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately: Pancakes are best served hot off the griddle. Top them with butter, syrup, and fresh fruit.

Conclusion:

Lemon ricotta pancakes with figs are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. They're perfect for a special occasion or a lazy weekend morning. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a memorable meal that your family and friends will love.
