Easy Recipe For Ricotta Pancakes

FLUFFY RICOTTA PANCAKES

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.

RICOTTA PANCAKES

Steps:

• Combine 32 oz ricotta cheese with 1 egg and mix until the egg is well incorporated (if using vanilla add 1 tsp vanilla with the egg); add 1/2-3/4 cup sugar and mix again; add 1½ cups flour and 1/2 tsp baking powder and with a minimal amount of mixing bring everything together into a smooth mass.
• Using a tablespoon or a large ice cream scoop, scoop the mixture then drop it into the flour. Coat the ball in flour, then gently shape into a flat patty about 1/2 inch thick. You can shape them all and then fry the ricotta pancakes, or shape enough to fill the pan and while they're frying continue shaping the rest.
• To fry the pancakes add about 1 tablespoon of oil to a skillet and heat over low-medium heat. Add ricotta pancakes in, cover with a lid and fry for about 2-3 minutes per side or until well browned on both sides.

RICOTTA PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, add flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Whisk briefly to combine.
• In a separate mixing bowl, add eggs, milk, ricotta and vanilla. Whisk for 30 seconds to break up the egg yolks and combine the wet ingredients.
• Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and whisk to combine. Batter should be thick and smooth.
• Place a medium-sized frying pan on low-medium heat. Add a teaspoon of butter and smear it around to cover the base of the frying pan. Add approximately 3 tablespoons of pancake batter to the middle of the pan.
• Fry pancake until golden. Flip and cook on the other side until lightly golden. Repeat with the remaining pancake batter, smearing the pan with butter after every pancake. Serve warm with fresh blueberries and maple syrup.

LEMON-RICOTTA PANCAKES

Steps:

• Whisk water and baking soda together in a mixing bowl. Add ricotta cheese, lemon zest, vegetables oil, sugar, egg, and vanilla. Whisk until smooth, breaking up lumps of cheese as you mix. Add melted butter, lemon juice, and 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons self-rising flour. Whisk together, stirring until most of flour disappears into the batter.
• Let batter sit at room temperature about 15 minutes.
• Heat lightly greased cast iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Portion out 1/4 cup scoops of batter onto skillet (cook in batches). When bubbles begin to form on the surface and the edges of the pancakes start to look dry (2 to 3 minutes), flip and cook other side until cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a warm plate.

RICOTTA BREAKFAST PANCAKES

Steps:

• Whisk together the pancake mix, skim milk, and ricotta in a bowl until smooth. Batter should be thick; add more milk if necessary to get desired consistency.
• Heat a lightly oiled griddle over medium-high heat. Drop batter by large spoonfuls onto the griddle, and cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry. Flip, and cook until browned on the other side. Repeat with remaining batter.

THE BEST RICOTTA PANCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat a griddle to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) or place a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.
• Stir ricotta cheese, milk, and egg yolks together in a bowl until combined.
• Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl; stir in ricotta mixture.
• Whisk egg whites in a bowl until frothy; fold into ricotta mixture.
• Oil preheated griddle with about 1 teaspoon canola oil; pour 1/4 cup batter onto hot griddle for each pancake. Cook until evenly golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes; turn and cook until evenly golden on other side, 1 to 2 minutes more. Repeat with remaining batter, oiling griddle between batches.
