THE BEST RICOTTA PANCAKES
This is a well loved recipe! I have an old, small crumpled piece of paper with this recipe hand written out from some years ago, not sure where it came from! I have my own scribbles and scratches on it, so I must have changed it somewhere in time, but this is how I have been making it the last 10 years. It is our favorite pancake recipe. So light, a little tangy, and very satisfying. Perfect with some fresh blueberries or strawberries.

Fresh ricotta pulls double duty in these fluffy pancakes -- it goes into the batter and is schmeared on top before serving.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until very well combined, about 30 seconds. In a large measuring cup, beat together buttermilk, ricotta, orange juice and zest, eggs, and butter. Make a well in dry ingredients; stir in wet mixture until lumpy and just combined. Let rest 10 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees and place a rimmed baking sheet fitted with a wire rack inside. Heat a large nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium; add oil, then wipe with a paper towel, leaving behind a thin film.
- Working in batches, add heaping quarter-cups of batter to skillet, spreading lightly with the bottom of the cup. Cook until bubbles form on surface, edges have set, and undersides are golden-brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook 2 minutes more. Transfer finished pancakes to oven to keep warm. Serve, topped with supremed oranges, warm honey, and a dollop of ricotta.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Line two sheet pans with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, stir together the fine and stone-ground cornmeals, the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and 1 tablespoon salt. In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, and Sriracha. Stir in the corn, chives, and jalapeno pepper and mix into the dry ingredients with a rubber spatula until moistened. Don't overmix!
- Heat 1 tablespoon of clarified butter in a large (12-inch) saute pan over medium heat until it sizzles. Drop 1/4-cup measures of batter into the pan without crowding them. Press each pancake very lightly with a small metal spatula. Cook for 2 minutes, turn, and cook for 1 1/2 minutes, until both sides are browned and the center of the pancake is firm. Place the pancakes on the prepared sheet pans and keep them warm in the oven while you cook the rest of the batter. Continue making the pancakes, adding more clarified butter to the pan, as needed. Sprinkle with salt and serve warm with a sprinkling of minced chives.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
- Whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt, baking soda and nutmeg in a large bowl. Whisk together the egg yolks, buttermilk, melted butter and vanilla in a medium bowl. Whisk the buttermilk mixture into the flour mixture until just combined to make a thick batter.

- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and brush lightly with butter. Working in batches, drop about 1/4 cup batter per pancake into the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the tops of the pancakes and the undersides are golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip and continue to cook until the pancakes are cooked through, about 1 minute more. Transfer the cooked pancakes to the oven to keep warm and continue to make more pancakes, brushing the skillet with butter as needed, until all the batter has been used. Serve the pancakes with blackberries and maple syrup.

Tips:
- Use fresh ricotta cheese. Fresh ricotta cheese is creamier and has a milder flavor than aged ricotta cheese. This will result in pancakes that are light and fluffy.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the pancakes tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking. This will allow the cornmeal to absorb the liquid and the pancakes will be less likely to stick to the pan.
- Cook the pancakes over medium heat. Medium heat will help the pancakes cook evenly without burning.
- Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings. Ricotta cornmeal pancakes are delicious with butter and syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
Conclusion:
Ricotta cornmeal pancakes are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch recipe. They are light and fluffy with a slightly sweet flavor. The ricotta cheese adds a creamy texture and the cornmeal gives them a slightly nutty flavor. These pancakes can be served with a variety of toppings, such as butter and syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
