FLUFFY LEMON RICOTTA PANCAKES WITH BLUEBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• For the blueberry sauce: Place the blueberries in a small saucepan. Add 1/2 cup water, then stir in the honey. Heat over medium-high heat until the mixture comes to a low boil and the blueberries just start to break apart. Dissolve the cornstarch in 2 tablespoons cold water in a small bowl, then add the slurry to the saucepan and bring the mixture to a rolling boil. Turn the heat down and simmer on low heat until the sauce is nicely thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice. Set aside until ready to serve. (See Cook's Note.)
• For the pancakes: Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl.
• Whisk together the ricotta, milk, vanilla, eggs and lemon zest and juice in a separate medium bowl. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon until just combined.
• Preheat the oven to 175 degrees F.
• Heat about a tablespoon each vegetable oil and butter in a large nonstick skillet (I prefer cast-iron) over medium heat. When the butter is foamy, reduce the heat to medium-low and ladle a heaping 1/4 cup pancake batter into the skillet. Repeat to make 2 more pancakes. Cook until bubbles start to form in the batter and the pancakes are golden underneath, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook the other sides until golden, another 3 minutes. Place the finished pancakes on a sheet tray and hold the oven while you finish cooking the remaining batter, adding more oil and butter as necessary. Serve warm with the blueberry sauce.

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.

FLUFFY AND DECADENT BLUEBERRY-RICOTTA PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the milk, sugar and vanilla until well combined. Add the flour, baking powder and salt. Whisk until just combined--do not overmix; small flour lumps are okay. Gently fold in the ricotta cheese until just barely combined. Again, some ricotta clumps are okay.
• In a separate bowl, using an electric mixer with the whisk attachment, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar (if using) at medium speed until frothy. Then switch to high speed and beat until soft peaks form, 4 to 6 minutes. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter until just combined.
• Heat a griddle over medium heat and give it a 3-second spray with nonstick spray to coat. Dip a 2-ounce (56-g) ladle into the batter and ladle onto the griddle. Be sure to leave enough space between the pancakes to get your spatula in there to flip. Cook over medium heat until the bottoms are golden brown and the pancakes are just beginning to set, 1 to 2 minutes. Sprinkle each pancake with a few blueberries, pressing them in gently. Flip over and continue to cook until golden on the second side. Remove from the heat and repeat with the remaining batter. Serve with maple syrup and butter.

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.

LIGHT, FLUFFY AND RICH PANCAKES

Steps:

• Beat together the ricotta or cottage cheese, sour cream or yogurt and egg yolks. Combine baking soda, flour, salt and sugar. Beat egg whites until fairly stiff but not dry.
• Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium-low heat while you finish batter. Stir flour mixture into cheese mixture, blending well but not beating. Stir in lemon juice and zest, then gently fold in beaten egg whites; they should remain somewhat distinct in batter.
• Add about 1 tablespoon butter or oil to griddle or skillet and coat surface. When it is hot, add batter by the heaping tablespoon, making sure to include some egg white in each spoonful. Cook until lightly browned on bottom, 3 to 5 minutes, then turn and cook second side. Serve immediately.

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.

KETO RICOTTA PANCAKES

Steps:

• Place all the ingredients except for the butter in your food processor bowl. Process until smooth, about 1 minute, stopping once to scrape the sides with a spatula.
• You can also mix the ingredients by hand if you prefer. Whisk them all in one bowl, adding them in the order listed.
• Heat a nonstick double burner griddle over medium heat (not higher), about 4 minutes. Grease with half the butter.
• Pour the batter into the griddle, measuring 2 tablespoons per pancake (I use a 2-tablespoon ice cream scoop that I got on Amazon).
• Cook the pancakes until golden-brown and puffed, 3-4 minutes per side. Grease the griddle again and repeat with the second batch. Serve immediately.

FLUFFY LEMON-RICOTTA PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda and salt.
• In a large bowl, beat together buttermilk, egg yolks, sugar, lemon zest and ricotta cheese by hand.
• In a clean bowl, using an electric mixer, beat egg whites until soft peaks form.
• Add dry ingredients to buttermilk mixture until just combined; gently fold in egg whites until they are just incorporated.
• Coat a large nonstick griddle or pan with cooking spray; heat over medium heat. Spoon batter into pan in batches using 60ml (1/4-cup) batter for each pancake; cook until lightly browned, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove pancakes to a tray in a warm oven and repeat with remaining ingredients (being careful not to spray cooking spray into open flame). Serving size: 2 pancakes

RICOTTA PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and sugar.
• In another bowl, whisk the ricotta, milk, vanilla or lemon, and 2 egg yolks until most of the ricotta is smooth and not clumpy.
• In another bowl, quickly whisk the egg whites. They don't have to be beaten into peaks, they just need to be thinned out a bit so they're easier to incorporate.
• Add the ricotta mixture to the flour mixture and stir gently until mostly combined. It's actually good if the batter remains a little lumpy. Gently incorporate the egg whites. Allow the mixture to sit while you preheat a skillet.
• Heat a skillet over medium heat. It's ready when a drop of water sizzles on the surface. Add a dab of butter or oil to the pan (I prefer butter). Place 1/4 cup dollops of batter onto the hot skillet. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface. Flip and continue to cook until heated throughout. Repeat with remaining batter.
• To keep cooked pancakes warm, place them on a cookie cooling rack in an oven set to the lowest temperature it will go.
• Serve warm with berries, bananas, and real maple syrup. (Or whatever toppings suit your fancy).

FLUFFY RICOTTA PANCAKES WITH STRAWBERRY-ORANGE SAUCE

Steps:

• Place the ricotta in a strainer over a bowl for at least 1 hour to allow any excess liquid to drain.
• Prepare the sauce by placing the strawberries, sugar, lemon juice and orange juice in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. In a small bowl, whisk together the water and cornstarch and add to the simmering strawberry mixture.
• Continue cooking until the mixture thickens to a syrup-like consistency. Transfer to a bowl and set aside to cool.
• Combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a bowl. In a separate bowl, combine the ricotta, milk, egg yolks, vanilla and orange zest until smooth.
• In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer on high speed until light and fluffy, but not stiff. Add the ricotta-milk mixture to the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Whisk in about half of the egg whites until well blended, then gently fold in the balance.
• Oil a griddle and heat over medium-high heat. Pour about 3 tablespoons of batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles appear and begin to break on the edges and the surface of the pancake, then flip to finish cooking on the second side.
• Transfer to a baking sheet and keep warm in a 200°F oven while you cook the remaining pancakes.
• Serve topped with the Strawberry-Orange Sauce.
