Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup full fat ricotta cheese (, not watery (Note 1))
2 large eggs (, separated into yolks and whites)
3/4 cup milk ((full or low fat))
1/2 tsp vanilla extract ((or essence))
1 cup plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
3 tbsp caster sugar ((fine sugar))
Pinch of salt
2 tsp butter
8 oz / 250g strawberries (, halved)
1 1/2 tsp sugar
Maple syrup

Steps:

  • Place the ricotta, yolks, milk and vanilla in a bowl. Use a rubber spatula to mix (press down on large lumps as required) until there are no large lumps of ricotta.
  • Add flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Mix until just combined. The batter should be fairly thick.
  • Place egg whites in a separate bowl. Whisk vigorously by hand for 30 seconds until foamy. It doesn't need to be stiff, just foamy on top and still watery egg whites underneath.
  • Fold the egg whites into the batter and mix until just combined. The batter should be quite thick - thicker than normal pancake batter.
  • Heat a non stick skillet over medium heat. Melt 1/2 tsp butter then use paper towels to wipe most of it off (Note 2).
  • Pour a heaped ice cream scoop / 1/3 level cup of batter into the skillet. (Note 3) Use the scoop/cup to gently spread it into a (roughly) 15cm/6" round. Cook for 40 - 45 seconds or until a few bubbles appear on the edges (Note 4) and it is golden underneath.
  • Flip and cook the other side for 40 seconds. Remove from the skillet and repeat with remaining batter, using extra butter as required (every 2 or 3 pancakes). Makes 6 pancakes. (Note 5)
  • Serve warm with maple syrup and strawberries.

THE BEST RICOTTA PANCAKES



The Best Ricotta Pancakes image

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.

LEMON RICOTTA PANCAKES



Lemon Ricotta Pancakes image

This quick batter cooks into the most tender pancakes for the most comforting breakfast. Milky ricotta and butter, along with tangy buttermilk, lend a soft, sweet creaminess, and well-beaten eggs keep them fluffy and light. Lemon- and vanilla-scented sugar makes the pancakes sweet enough to eat on their own, but they're fun to serve with blueberry syrup or your favorite toppings. If you prefer soufflé-like pancakes, separate the whites from the yolks and beat them to stiff peaks. Mix the yolks in with the wet ingredients, fold the whipped whites in after the dry ingredients are incorporated and cook as directed below.

Time 20m

Yield 8 to 10 small pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 11

3/4 cup/102 grams all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon fine salt
1/4 cup/50 grams granulated sugar
1 lemon
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3 large eggs
3/4 cup/170 grams whole-milk ricotta
1/4 cup/61 grams buttermilk, preferably whole milk
2 tablespoons/28 grams unsalted butter, melted, plus room-temperature butter for cooking and serving
Blueberry Syrup or other toppings, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt in a small bowl. Heat a griddle or large nonstick pan or well-seasoned cast-iron skillet over medium-low.
  • Add the sugar to a large bowl, then finely grate the zest of the lemon directly over the sugar. Using your fingers, gently rub the zest into the sugar. Add the vanilla and whisk to evenly moisten. Add the eggs and whisk until foamy on top, then add the ricotta, buttermilk and butter, and whisk until well blended. Add the flour mixture and gently stir until no traces of flour remain.
  • Generously butter the griddle, then drop a scant 1/4 cup batter onto it. Repeat, spacing the rounds at least an inch apart. Cook until the bottoms are golden brown and the tops are bubbling, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook until the other sides are golden brown, about 2 minutes more. Repeat with more butter and the remaining batter. Serve warm, slathered with butter and blueberry syrup or other toppings if you'd like.

Categories     Cake     Mixer     Cheese     Dairy     Breakfast     Brunch     Kid-Friendly     Ricotta     Summer     Sour Cream     Bon Appétit     Small Plates

Yield Makes about 40 small pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 large eggs, separated
2 cups ricotta cheese
2/3 cup sour cream
1 1/3 cups all purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cups whole milk
Melted butter
Maple syrup

Steps:

  • Whisk yolks, ricotta and sour cream in large bowl to blend. Whisk flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda in another large bowl to blend. Add flour mixture to yolk mixture and stir until combined. Stir in milk. Using electric mixer, beat whites in another large bowl on medium speed until soft peaks form. Fold beaten whites into batter. Heat griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Brush with butter. Working in batches, spoon 2 tablespoons batter onto griddle for each pancake. Cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Serve with maple syrup.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients. Fresh ricotta cheese, eggs, and milk will give your pancakes the best flavor and texture.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make your pancakes tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking. This will allow the gluten in the flour to relax, which will make your pancakes more tender.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat. This will help them cook evenly without burning.
  • Flip the pancakes only once. Flipping them too often will make them dry and tough.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings. Ricotta pancakes are delicious with butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Ricotta pancakes are a delicious and versatile breakfast option. They're easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a new pancake recipe, give ricotta pancakes a try. You won't be disappointed!
