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.
- 3. In a bowl with the mixer set on high speed, beat the egg whites with the pinch of salt for about 1 minute, or until they hold stiff peaks. Whisk about one fourth of the egg whites into the ricotta mixture; then fold the remaining whites in gently but thoroughly.
- 4. Preheat a stove-top griddle or a skillet over medium heat, or an electric griddle to 400°F, testing to make sure it's hot enough for a drop of water to bounce on it.
- 5. Lightly butter the griddle. Using a ladle, form pancakes on the griddle, using 1/4 cup batter for each pancake. Cook the pancakes until a few bubbles form on the surface of each one.
- 6. Flip the pancakes with a spatula and cook until golden brown on the other side. Brush the finished pancakes with a little melted butter before serving.

[email protected]I've tried many ricotta pancake recipes before, but this one is by far the best. The pancakes are incredibly light and airy, with a perfect balance of sweetness and tanginess.

[email protected]These orange ricotta pancakes are a delightful treat! The ricotta cheese adds a lovely richness and moisture to the pancakes, while the orange zest provides a bright and citrusy flavor.
