ORANGE RICOTTA PANCAKES

These pancakes rise up fast, like little souffles, and are best eaten right away so make sure your family is ready and waiting with their plates. The cheese flavor is subtle, but present. Although they are delicious with syrup, I actually preferred mine plain, eaten with my fingers like a little flat cupcake. I think they would also be lovely with a light dusting of confectioners' sugar or maybe even a bit of orange blossom honey. These pancakes get their incredible height and lightness from thickly beaten egg whites. To assure your whites stiffen perfectly, beat in a clean, cool metal bowl that has been wiped down with a cut lemon and then cleaned with a paper towel. This will get rid of any soap or oil residue left behind from previous uses.

Time 25m

Yield 2 to 3 servings (About nine 3-inch pancakes)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 cup granulated sugar
Freshly grated rind of 1/2 large orange
2/3 cup all-purpose or pastry flour, sifted
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup whole milk ricotta (preferably fresh)
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
1/2 lemon
3 large eggs, separated
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more as needed, at room temperature
Confectioners' sugar or orange blossom honey (optional)

Steps:

  • Mash the sugar and orange zest together with the back of a spoon in a small bowl or on a cutting board. Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Add the sugar-and-zest mixture and whisk to combine. Combine the ricotta, sour cream, heavy cream, orange juice and egg yolks with a whisk in a medium bowl. Add the ricotta mixture to the flour mixture and combine with a rubber spatula until just smooth; don't overmix.
  • Rub the 1/2 lemon over the inside of a chilled medium metal bowl, then wipe the bowl dry with a paper towel. Add the egg whites to the bowl and beat with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 2 minutes. Gently fold about 1/3 of the egg whites into the batter, then add the remaining egg whites. Don't worry if there are slight streaks of egg whites in the batter. Heat a nonstick or cast-iron griddle and grease with 2 tablespoons of butter. Pour or ladle about 1/3 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake, taking care to keep them evenly spaced apart. Cook until bubbles break the surface of the pancakes and the edges come together, about 2 minutes. Slip a spatula under each pancake, flip gently and cook until the edges come together and the pancake has risen, about 1 minute. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, brushing the pan with more butter as necessary. Serve immediately. You can also add a sprinkle of confectioners' sugar or a drizzle of orange blossom honey, if desired.

Yield Makes 12 pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 extra-large eggs, separated
1 1/3 cups ricotta cheese
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons freshly grated orange zest
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Pinch of salt
Melted butter for the griddle and for brushing on the pancakes

Steps:

  • 1. Combine the egg yolks, ricotta cheese, sugar, and orange zest in a medium bowl. Using a whisk or a mixer set on medium speed, beat for 2 minutes, or until creamy.
  • 2. Sift the flour over the egg mixture. Using a large spoon or spatula, fold the flour into the egg mixture, being careful not to overmix or your pancakes will be tough.

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Afternoon tea, Breakfast, Brunch, Buffet, Dessert, Snack, Supper, Treat

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 oranges
200g plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 egg , beaten
200ml semi-skimmed milk
220g tub ricotta
1 tbsp sunflower oil or vegetable oil
handful pistachios nuts, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Cut the skin and pith away from the oranges, then slice into rounds. Put the flour, baking powder and a pinch of salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the middle, then pour in the egg and a splash of milk. Using a wooden spoon, gradually draw the flour into the liquid until you have a lump-free batter. Mix in the rest of the milk, then beat in the ricotta.
  • Heat a large non-stick frying pan and add the oil. Swirl it around the pan then tip out any excess into a heatproof bowl. Spoon in 3 or 4 generous tbsps of batter, spaced well apart, to make pancakes about 10cm across. Cook on medium heat for 2 mins until bubbles appear on the surface. Flip over with a palette knife and cook for 2 more mins until golden. Set aside and keep warm; cook the rest.
  • Stack the pancakes, pile the orange slices on top, drizzle with honey, then scatter with nuts and serve warm.

Tips:

  • Select the right oranges: Use ripe Valencia oranges for the best flavor. Look for oranges with a deep orange color and a thin, smooth rind.
  • Zest the oranges before juicing them: This will release the aromatic oils from the orange peel and give your pancakes a more intense orange flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the pancakes tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat: This will help them cook evenly without burning.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately: Pancakes are best enjoyed fresh off the griddle. Serve them with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, or fruit.

Conclusion:

Valencia orange ricotta pancakes are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast treat. They're perfect for a lazy weekend morning or a special occasion brunch. With their bright citrus flavor and fluffy texture, these pancakes are sure to please everyone at the table.
