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.

Provided by Ina Garten

Categories     main-dish

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.

FLUFFY LEMON RICOTTA PANCAKES WITH BLUEBERRY SAUCE



Fluffy Lemon Ricotta Pancakes with Blueberry Sauce image

Provided by Kardea Brown

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 10 to 12 pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen)
1/2 cup honey
1 heaping tablespoon cornstarch
Squeeze fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 cup ricotta
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
Butter and vegetable oil, for cooking

Steps:

  • For the blueberry sauce: Place the blueberries in a small saucepan. Add 1/2 cup water, then stir in the honey. Heat over medium-high heat until the mixture comes to a low boil and the blueberries just start to break apart. Dissolve the cornstarch in 2 tablespoons cold water in a small bowl, then add the slurry to the saucepan and bring the mixture to a rolling boil. Turn the heat down and simmer on low heat until the sauce is nicely thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice. Set aside until ready to serve. (See Cook's Note.)
  • For the pancakes: Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl.
  • Whisk together the ricotta, milk, vanilla, eggs and lemon zest and juice in a separate medium bowl. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon until just combined.
  • Preheat the oven to 175 degrees F.
  • Heat about a tablespoon each vegetable oil and butter in a large nonstick skillet (I prefer cast-iron) over medium heat. When the butter is foamy, reduce the heat to medium-low and ladle a heaping 1/4 cup pancake batter into the skillet. Repeat to make 2 more pancakes. Cook until bubbles start to form in the batter and the pancakes are golden underneath, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook the other sides until golden, another 3 minutes. Place the finished pancakes on a sheet tray and hold the oven while you finish cooking the remaining batter, adding more oil and butter as necessary. Serve warm with the blueberry sauce.

Number Of Ingredients 13

3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
1 cup ricotta cheese
2 eggs
2/3 cup milk
1 lemon, zested and juiced
Butter, for griddle
1 (11-ounce) jar prepared lemon curd
Fresh raspberries, for garnish
Confectioners' sugar, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat a nonstick griddle.
  • Combine flour, baking powder, nutmeg, salt, and sugar in a small bowl. Whisk together the cheese, eggs, milk, lemon juice and zest in a large bowl. Whisk the flour mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined. Brush the hot griddle with butter. For each pancake, pour approximately 1/4 cup measure of the batter on the griddle and cook on both sides until light golden brown. Repeat until no batter remains.
  • Empty the contents of the lemon curd into a small saucepan and warm over low heat. Alternatively, remove the lid and place in a microwave oven on 50 percent power for 2 minutes, stopping after 1 minute to stir the curd. Drizzle a few tablespoons of the curd over the pancakes, top with fresh raspberries, and sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.

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!

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 quart strawberries, topped and quartered
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup orange juice
2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt, plus a pinch for egg whites
1 heaping teaspoon baking powder
4 eggs, separated
1 heaping cup ricotta cheese
3/4 cup milk
2 Meyer lemons, zested and juiced
Butter, for cooking the pancakes
Powdered sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Toss the strawberries with the sugar and orange juice. Cover and let sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
  • After the berries and sugar have macerated and become very juicy, remove 1/2 of the berry mixture, put it in a food processor and puree until smooth. Return it to the rest of the berries and reserve until ready to use.
  • Sift together all of the dry ingredients in a large bowl. In another bowl, combine the egg yolks, ricotta, milk and lemon zest and juice, and mix until it becomes homogeneous. Make a well in the dry ingredients, add the wet ingredients to the well and whisk until combined.
  • Preheat a griddle.
  • In another bowl, using a whisk or electric mixer, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt to stiff peaks. Fold the egg whites into the flour mixture in thirds. Do this quickly and gently so the pancakes will be light and fluffy.
  • Melt small pats of butter onto the preheated griddle, and spread it around with a paper towel to remove any excess butter. Spoon or ladle the pancake batter onto the prepared griddle to desired size of the pancake. When the top of the pancake is full of holes, like bubbles have risen to the surface and burst, the pancake is ready to flip. Flip the cakes and cook until the bottom is golden brown.
  • Remove the pancakes from the grill to serving plates. Top with the macerated strawberry coulis and garnish with powdered sugar.
  • What a flapjack!

Number Of Ingredients 14

For the sautéed apples
4 large Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
fresh lemon juice to taste
For the pancakes
4 large eggs, separated
1 1/3 cups ricotta
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons freshly grated lemon zest
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
melted butter for brushing the griddle
maple syrup as an accompaniment

Steps:

  • Prepare the sautéed apples:
  • In a large heavy skillet sauté the apples in the butter over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes, or until they are softened, sprinkle them with the sugar and the cinnamon, and cook them over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 10 minutes, or until they are tender. Stir in the lemon juice and keep the mixture warm.
  • Make the pancakes:
  • In a bowl whisk together the egg yolks, the ricotta, the sugar, and the zest, add the flour, and stir the mixture until it is just combined. In a bowl with an electric mixer beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until they hold stiff peaks, whisk about one fourth of them into the ricotta mixture, and fold in the remaining whites gently but thoroughly. Heat a griddle over moderately high heat until it is hot enough to make drops of water scatter over its surface and brush it with some of the melted butter. Working in batches, pour the batter onto the griddle by 1/4-cup measures and cook the pancakes for 1 to 2 minutes on each side, or until they are golden, brushing the griddle with some of the melted butter as necessary. Transfer the pancakes as they are cooked to a heatproof platter and keep them warm in a preheated 200°F. oven.
  • Serve the pancakes with the sautéed apples and the maple syrup.

I found this recipe online, but have adjusted a few things. I use Bob's Red Mill 1-to-1 flour. Sometimes we mix in blueberries at the last step.

Tips:

  • For fluffy pancakes, make sure to separate the egg whites and yolks, and beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form before folding them into the batter.
  • Use fresh lemon juice and zest for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice, but be sure to add a little extra zest.
  • 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 on the outside before they're cooked through on the inside.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
