LEMON-RICOTTA PANCAKES



Lemon-Ricotta Pancakes image

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.

LEMON RICOTTA PANCAKES WITH SWEET CREME FRAICHE



Lemon Ricotta Pancakes with Sweet Creme Fraiche image

This is one of my favorite recipes from a B&B (Fairholme Manor) my husband and I stayed in in Victoria, BC. I eat the pancakes with creme fraiche alone, but many enjoy it with the addition of maple syrup. Enjoy the creme fraiche as a substitute to whipped cream on just about anything.

Provided by Hector Gomez

Categories     Breakfast

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 pancake
1 cup ricotta cheese
1 egg yolk
¾ cup milk
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons lemon zest
1 cup flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 ½ cups blueberry compote
2 cups blueberry
½ cup sugar
½ cup water
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 egg whites
2 tablespoons sugar

Steps:

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together ricotta cheese, egg yolk, milk, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Whisk until smooth, then add flour and baking powder. Mix this until fully combined.
  • In a separate mixing bowl, beat the egg whites on high speed with an electric mixer until very white and foamy, then gradually add sugar. Continue beating on high speed until hard peaks form.
  • Gently fold ¼ of the egg whites into the lemon ricotta mixture. Gently fold in the remaining egg whites. Be careful not to deflate the eggs!
  • Butter up a nonstick pan and pour in about ¼ cup (25g) worth of batter for each pancake.
  • Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown on the edges.
  • In a pot or pan, cook blueberries, sugar, water, and lemon juice. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and cook for about 8-10 minutes or until the compote reaches a thick consistency. (Compote will thicken once it cools, so to loosen it up just add a touch of hot water.)
  • Serve hot compote over stack of pancakes and dust with powdered sugar.
  • Enjoy!

LEMON & RICOTTA PANCAKES



Lemon & Ricotta Pancakes image

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 ricotta cheese. Fresh ricotta cheese has a smooth, creamy texture and a slightly sweet flavor, which makes it ideal for pancakes. If you can't find fresh ricotta cheese, you can use whole milk ricotta cheese, but it will be a little less creamy.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the pancakes tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat. If you cook the pancakes over high heat, they will brown too quickly on the outside and be raw on the inside. Medium heat will allow the pancakes to cook evenly throughout.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately. Pancakes are best served hot off the griddle. If you need to keep the pancakes warm, you can place them in a warm oven (200 degrees Fahrenheit) until you're ready to serve them.

Conclusion:

Lemon ricotta pancakes with sweet crème fraîche are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch recipe. The pancakes are light and fluffy, with a slightly sweet and tangy flavor from the ricotta cheese and lemon zest. The sweet crème fraîche adds a rich and creamy topping that perfectly complements the pancakes. This recipe is sure to be a hit with your family and friends!
