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.

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons buttermilk
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 dash salt
1 ¾ cups ricotta cheese
5 eggs, separated
1 cup milk
½ cup white sugar
1 lemon, zested

Steps:

  • Mix heavy cream, buttermilk, and 2 tablespoons sugar together in a bowl. Let stand at room temperature until slightly thickened, 6 to 8 hours. Cover and refrigerate for at least 24 hours before using.
  • Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl.
  • Whisk ricotta cheese, egg yolks, milk, sugar, and lemon zest together in a separate bowl. Whisk in flour mixture until batter is smooth.
  • Beat egg whites in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl until stiff peaks form. Fold very gently into the batter.
  • Heat a lightly oiled griddle over medium heat. Drop 1/2 cup batter onto the griddle and cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.
  • Beat sweetened creme fraiche until stiff peaks form. Serve with pancakes.

These pancakes are a great way to use up leftover ricotta cheese. They're also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables! I added some grated zucchini to the batter and they loved it.
